Creation and Converting Muslims

In this podcast, I would like to highlight the fact that the true Catholic doctrine of creation is not only the foundation of our Faith; it is also the foundation for all effective evangelization, including the evangelization of Muslims. As an example of how the doctrines derived from the sacred history of Genesis have the power to convert devout Muslims, I would like to share a brief excerpt from the spiritual autobiography of a devout Iranian Muslim which is available as an e-book on the Kolbe website. The author describes how she was stranded in London after the Ayatollah Khomeni Revolution in Iran and was exposed for the first time to devout Catholics—including her future husband, Gregory Clovis—and to Catholic teaching. While staying at San Marino, a house for Catholic students in London under the spiritual care of a holy Jesuit priest named Fr. Hugh Thwaites, Maria’s life was transformed by the teaching she heard at a Legion of Mary Patricians group meeting that focused on the Creation and the Fall of Adam and Eve.
