Norway’s Olav Fykse Tveit is general secretary of the Geneva-based World Council of Churches; Lois Wilson is a past president of that body, as well as a former Canadian senator
Interesting interview with them
We’ve been talking about relationships among Christians. What does this imply for dialogue between Christians and other faiths?

Wilson: God isn’t even Christian! We’ve spent years in dialogue, saying “You’re a Muslim; I’m a Christian; here’s how we’re different. Whose God is supreme?” and so on.
