Hosting a Class

Hosting Encountering the World of Islam (EWI) requires a church or other educational facility, a trained coordinator, a supporting team of 6-10 people, and 6-9 months of preparation to create a budget, invite instructors, promote the course, etc.

EWI is an outgrowth of Perspectives on the World Christian Movement (see www.perspectives.org) and is endorsed as a specialized curriculum within the Perspectives Family. Perspectives is not a prerequisite for EWI, but both courses teach similar values and use similar methods of instruction. Because of this, trained Perspectives coordinators are qualified to offer Encountering the World of Islam as well.

Coordinator training for EWI is provided through our office in Denver, Colorado. Contact us at info@encounteringislam.org for more information. We highly recommend that at least 1-2 members of your coordinating team complete a coordinator training course. Coordinators may substitute other coordinator workshops (e.g., Perspectives Coordinator Workshop) for our training, recognizing that not all workshops include information specifically about EWI.

If you would like to host an Encountering the World of Islam course, please let us know by using the "Contact Us" link to the left. We will e-mail you more information and an application.
