Abstract
Islam and Christianity are both missionary religions, which often makes interaction
between the two difficult. However, in Ghana, there has been constructive engagement
between these two great religions, due to the exceptional religious tolerance in the country.
This article shows how the Christian Council of Ghana and the Ghana Catholic Bishops'
Conference have been involved in these inter-faith relations. Though they both have different
purposes and approaches to Muslims, they both contributed constructively to inter-faith
relations in Ghana, with the basic objective of the need for peaceful coexistence between
adherents of the two faiths. The current global state of religious intolerance makes this
objective more pertinent.
