“Hizmet reaches out to others giving much ground for hope” tells Prof. Leo D. Lefebure

Victor Edwin, SJ

In a recent Conference of Jesuits Among Muslims in Rome (September 2011) presenting his views on Hizmet movement, Prof. Thomas Michel SJ of Georgetown University, Washington concluded: "'Are Gülen and the Hizmet community friends or foes?' I must answer that they are our friends. They are the kind of Muslim interlocutors for an active dialogue for which we have been searching since the time of Nostra Aetate."
