| Summary |
Can Christian-Muslim relations be better understood - and even interfaith conflicts resolved - if Christians and Muslims joined together in an existential and phenomenological engagement with common spatiality? To answer this question, twelve Christian students from St. Paul's University in Limuru, Kenya, and twelve Muslim students from Eastleigh, a Nairobi suburb, mapped the twelve streets of Eastleigh. Eastleigh is a sprawling Nairobi suburb largely populated by Somali Muslims. The mapping method in the above exercise was phenomenological - that is, mapping spatiality as a "lived experience" and interpreting spatial observations in light of individual and group existential experiences. The result of the mapping exercise was a radical transformation both in the mappers' own self-perceptions as well as their perceptions of Christian-Muslim relations.
