Orthodox Christians believe in the Trinity, the teaching that there is one eternal being of God - indivisible, infinite. This one being of God is shared by three co-equal, co-eternal persons, the Father, the Son, and the Spirit.
Muslims reject this view, arguing that it results in worshiping someone other than Allah by associating partners with him.
James White and Abdullah al Andalusi will conduct a formal, moderated debate on the doctrine of the Trinity at 7:30pm at Trinity Road Chapel in Wandsworth Common, London. Visit www.trinityroadchapel.org for directions and a map of the church's location.
