The first meetings took place in 2010, at which faith leaders from the Muslim and Christian faiths were joined by Molana Ilyas Dalal, hospital chaplain, and Dr John Azuma from the London School of theology who spoke on Sticking points in Muslim-Christian dialogue.

At January 2011's well attended event, Molana Shahid Raza Naeemi OBE, Chair of the Mosques and Imams National Advisory Board (MINAB) spoke on Christian/Muslim relations in Britain - Paving the way forward.
