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 conducted a formal, moderated debate on the doctrine of the Trinity at 8:00pm on 22nd February at Trinity Road Chapel in Wandsworth Common, London.
