Amid tentative recognition of the work of faith-based organizations (FBOs) in responding to humanitarian crises, I examine a novel inter-faith partnership between Muslim Aid, the UK’s second largest Islamic humanitarian agency, and the US-based United Methodist Committee on Relief, the official humanitarian agency of the United Methodist Church. In doing so, I look at why there are so few partnerships among Christian and Islamic humanitarian organisations, given the culturally plural circumstances in which humanitarian crises usually occur, and at what the case-study here reveals about the necessary prerequisites for such partnerships. Based on ethnographic methods, including interviews, focus group discussions and participant observation, I examine the origins of the partnership in August 2006 amid Sri Lanka’s civil war, and its subsequent development up to September 2008. Rather than trumpeting the partnership’s successes, I emphasise its novel nature and the significant precedent which it represents. |
