Solomon Academic Trust
(A company limited by guarantee)
Report of the trustees (incorporating the directors. report) for the year ended 30 April 2024.
The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 30 April 2024. The
trustees, who are also directors of Solomon Academic Trust for the purposes of company law and
who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 1.
Structure, governance and management
The charity is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association, dated 18 March 2008 as
amended on 24th June 2010. Trustees of the Solomon Academic Trust are appointed by the
members at general meetings. Vacancies can be filled, or additional trustees appointed by the
trustees until the next following annual general meeting when a trustee so appointed can be
reappointed by the members. No other person or body external to the charity is entitled to appoint
trustees. A trustee is required to subscribe to the Trust's Statements of Beliefs:
The basis of Solomon Academic Trust is the Christian faith in accordance with the historic
creeds acknowledging the human and divine Jesus as Messiah and accepting the Bible as
the trustworthy final authority.
Selection and induction of trustees
Prospective trustees are supplied with an information pack and invited to meet the staff of the
Centre for Muslim-christian Studies and to sample its activities. They then meet the chair of trustees
to discuss their potential responsibilities and how their particular expertise could serve the Trust.
The chair reports to the next meeting of the Trust and, if all are in agreement, the prospective
trustee is invited to attend a meeting of the Trust before the Trust confirms its invitation to become a
trustee.
Decision makin
Decisions regarding governance, staffing, strategy and financial policy are taken by trustees at
trustee meetings. In the event of disagreement among the trustees, the matter is settled by a simple
majority vote of trustees in attendance. If urgent decisions need to be taken be￿een trustee
meetings, the chair consults trustees electronically.
Day-to-day decisions on the running of the Centre for Muslim-christian Studies, academic policies
and decisions about programmes, publications and publicity are taken by the relevant committees of
the centre for Muslim-christian Studies under the leading of the Director. The committees currently
comprise a senior management team, and an academic team. It is the job of the Director to ensure
regular reporting to the trustees, and to advise the trustees on questions about governance, staffing,
strategy and financial policy.
Staff remuneration
It is the policy of SAT. within our financial capacities, to set all staff salaries in line with the
University of Oxford salary scales and to adjust cost of living pay increases in line with these scales.
Risk mana
ement
Our exposure to risks is reviewed annually. The trustees consider their current major risk to be
financial security and they have continued close monitoring of income and expenditure and a clear
focus on income generation. Monthly staff financial meetings maintain careful scrutiny of all financial
matters and adjustments made where necessary.

SAT regularly reviews its communications work to ensure the Trust is compliant with the General
Data Protection Regulation (2018) and to minimise the risk of data breaches. We also maintain an
Information Security Policy for both SAT and CMCS. which is published online, reviewed annually
and read and adhered to by all staff and volunteers. This policy contributes to mitigating the risk of
data breaches.
SAT regularly reviews its Safeguarding policy and its implementation. The Safeguard lead is the
Director of SAT.
Objectives and activities
The charity's objects are to advance education for the public benefit in Oxford, the UK and
worldwide by such means as the Trustees may consider appropriate including:
1) the education of the public in the subject of the interaction of the Christian and Islamic
Faiths.,
2) the research of issues concerning the contribution of the Islamic Faith to national and
international issues from the perspective of the Christian faith and the publication of the
results of such research,.
3) the education of students at universities and institutes of higher education by the provision
of facilities and teaching in relation to Muslim-christian interaction in order to provide a better
understanding of both faiths.
The trustees have a duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the
Charity Commission (England and Wales) in exercising their powers or duties. In setting the above
objectives for the charity. and planning its activities. the charity trustees have followed the guidance
on public benefit published by the Commission.
The Trust's achievements, performance and future plans
The Solomon Academic Trust's main activity continues to be the support of the Centre for Muslim-
Christian Studies (CMCS) in Oxford. This is an independent Christian study centre promoting the
study of Islam among Christians. the study of Christianity among Muslims and rigorous academic
teaching and research on the Muslim-christian interface. SAT currently operates a second project,
in partnership with Langham Ministries. 'Windows on the Text: Bible Commentaries from Muslim
Contexts.. SAT has plans for other work as resources become available. SAT provides
administration and financial services to Christian Responses to Islam in Britain (CRIB).
Management and Administration:
Partly due to the death of a major donor, the trust faced exceptional financial constraints during this
year. This has led the a restructuring of the staff team and the development, with trustee support, of
a renewed ministry framework which will ensure sustainability for the future work of the charity
based on a smaller staff hub working in collaboration with a wider network of associates and
consultants. The restructuring process led to several staff being employed for reduced hours and
one post being made redundant.
Dr Richard Mccallum is the Director of the Solomon Academic Trust, a 0.5 FfE position which
oversees all the trust's projects. There is a 0.8 Administrator using Donorfy for Donor Relations
Management and a 0.2 FTE Finance Officer, provided to SAT through a secondment agreement
with Faith2Share (Reg. Charity No. 1132707), who uses Xero accounting software to track the
trust's finances.
The Centre for Muslim-christian Studies, Oxford.
Leadershi
and mana
ement
Whilst the SAT director, Richard Mccallum, is responsible for the overall operation of CMCS, Dr
Martin Whittingharn is the CMCSO Academic Dean with responsibility for the day-to-day running of
CMCS and its academic activities. During the 2023-24 year the post of International Partnerships
Coordinator was made redundant but Richard Mccallum continues as a 0.5 Senior Fellow with

responsibility for Public Engagement. These two currently comprise the Senior Management Team
of CMCS.
Re
ular activities:
The regular activities of the Centre-
Term-time academic hybrid research seminars attended by a global audience
Academic teaching in Oxford and elsewhere
Monthly Qur'an and Bible Group meetings (hybrid)
Occasional special lectures (open to the public)
A Guided Reading programme of reading and study available for scholars and faith or
community leaders
An annual Oxford Muslim-christian Summer School (2023 was our eighth), which is a
week of intensive learning and shared experience for Muslim and Christian leaders in
training, exploring sacred texts, history and contemporary issues.
Research:
The major research projects of CMCS are:
Reading the Bible in the Context of Islam under the direction of Dr Ida Glaser. An edited volume on
'Reading the Gospels in the Context of Islam, is in preparation for publication with Routledge, based
on papers from a conference held in September 2020. There are also plans to publish a book on
'Daniel and Apocalypse, and CMCS Research Associate Dr Danny Crowther is working on a book
about the Psalms.
A History of Muslim Views of the Bible under the direction of Dr Martin Whittingham, who works with
0.25 FTE Research Fellow, Dr Motaz al-Thaher.
Evangelical Christian Responses to Islam, a monograph by Dr Richard Mccallum, was published by
Bloomsbury Academic in Feb 2024 and marked by two events in June.
Faith Saving Water is a project undertaken by 0.5 FTE CMCS Research Fellow Dr Rana Abu-
Mounes up until March 2024. It explored Muslim and Christian organisations, responses to the water
crisis in Jordan and will be the subject of a CMCS report and several academic papers published in
journals. A hybrid conference on Faith & the Environment was held in Oxford in March 2024.
CMCS Research Associates, including Dr Rana Abou-mounes, Dr John Chesworth, Dr Danny
Crowther, Dr Saqib Hussain, Dr Georgina Jardim, Dr Ralph Leo, Dr Ferry Mamahit, Dr David
Marshal and Dr Ashlee Quosigk, continue to be active in the field for Christian-muslim Relations
(CMR).
Publications
In addition to the above research and books, CMCS also publishes:
Hikmah Study Guides- short booklets providing an accessible way to develop an understanding of
complex and potentially controversial issues which Muslims and Christian encounter together. The
most recent edition in 2023-24 included Christians, Muslims and Jesus and drafts are being
finalised looking at The Land (Israel-Palestine). Water and Martyrdom.
Research Briefings- an in-house journal containing short summaries of seminars given at the
centre to make our work accessible to a wider audience.
Book reviews- short reviews of books relevant to Christian-muslim relations written by friends and
supporters of the centre and available to the public on our website.
International Partnershi
Our international partnerships continue to flourish. The Sanneh Institute, Ghana, recently held its
first residential Summer School facilitated by two students who took part in the 2022 CMCSO
Summer School. The Center for Muslim-christian Studies Houston also held its first residential

weekend led by two students who attended the 2023 CMCSO Summer School. In this way we are
seeing the ethos of CMCSO being reproduced in Gulturally appropriate ways in other contexts. Our
third sister centre, The Center for Interdisciplinary Studies in Religions and Culture, was launched at
Walisongo State University on Java in 2023 by Dr Ferry Mamahit, a former visiting scholar at
CMCSO. It is expected that two students from Indonesia will attend the 2025 Summer School in
Oxford with a view to initiating a similar programme for Southeast Asia.
Libra
We are grateful to those individuals who have given books from their own personal libraries to
the CMCS library. Andrew Persson continues to volunteer one day per week, cataloguing
books and other material. The library now holds over 3,000 items as well as archives from MECO
(Middle East Christian Outreach) and from Vivienne Stacey (who worked in Pakistan and the Middle
East). Work will shortly commence on making the listings available via a web-based catalogue.
Scholarshi
Two Small Scholarships were awarded in 2023-24, each worth £2,500. to a Muslim and Christian
postgraduate student based in Oxford, with support from the Spalding and MB Reckitt trusts. The
scholarship holders co-convene the monthly Qurfan and Bible study meetings. as well as presenting
their research at a seminar during their period as a scholar. The scholarships are being offered
again for the academic year 2024-25 although the awards have been reduced to £2,000 due to lack
of funding.
Teachin
in Oxford and elsewhere:
The team continues to tutor students and provide other supervision, teaching and examination for
the University of Oxford and elsewhere. In particular, each June we provide intensive courses in
Islam and Christian-muslim Engagement for Wycliffe Hall. We have also contributed teaching to
online courses run by our sister centre, The Center for Muslim and Christian Studies Houston, and
taught for St Stephen's House on a course organised by Dr John Chesworth, a CMCS Research
Associate.
2. Other Projects
Windows on the Texts: Bible Commentaries from Muslim Contexts
This is an accessible-level publishing project arising from the more academic 'Reading the Bible in
the Context of Islam, research project. Langham Literature are funding and publishing an initial
series of five Bible commentaries from Muslim contexts. with a view to extending the series to cover
the whole of the Bible. The academic bases for the work are CMCS Oxford and the Arab Baptist
Theological Seminary in Beirut. Following the publication of the first commentary. on Genesis 1-11.
other volumes are in preparation focusing on the Bible books of Jonah, John's Epistles, Genesis 12-
50 and others.
Christian Res
onses to Islam in Britain
This network continues to connect Christians around Britain working with Muslims or in Muslim
contexts. A residential conference is planned for 2025.
Financial review
During this financial year, after transfers, a gain on unrestricted funds of £19,642 was achieved. and
a gain on restricted funds of £8.421 leaving us with an overall gain in the year of £28,063. The year-
end figure of unrestricted reserves (£118.731) is equivalent to approximately 5 months of future
unrestricted expenditure which is below our policy level of 6 months costs. The work of the trust
remains at risk unless substantial improvements can be achieved in its ability to raise funds from a
wider donor base.
Fundraising continues to be a priority for SAT and its staff, with the focus on encouraging
philanthropic giving through campaigns and newsletters, earning income and applying for grants

from trusts in the UK and USA. The financial year 2023-24 was the best year on record for UK
grants with a total of just over £50,000 received.
It has also been confirmed that a generous matching fund is being put in place as a result of a
substantial legacy left by a US philanthropist. It is envisaged that this fund will provide a third of
SAT'S finances in future years.
Future priorities:
The trustees, priority continues to be the development of a positive Christian witness which engages
both Muslim and Christian communities, in the UK and internationally, in constructive mutual
understanding and collaboration based on rigorous research, study and public education.
As mentioned above the restructuring undertaken during this year will enable the charity to continue
to fulfil its objectives based on a smaller hub of core staff and a wider nefwork of research
associates and other professionals working in the field of Muslim-christian understanding.
A significant bequest to our partner charity in the USA brings promise of improved financial security
as we generate matched funding. Long-term financial stability and effective management structures
for SAT, CMCS Oxford and our other projects remain an important concern. In the immediate future
trustees have agreed to:
Adopt a more networked approach to achieving the trust's objectives as outlined in the
trust's 2024-29 strategy document.
Strengthen our board of trustees by appointing a lead trustee for finance and by exploiting
fully the experience of all trustees, and adding to the board other additional trustees where
skills are lacking, particularly in the area of fundraising.
Enable the reduced core staff team, led by the SAT Director, to effectively represent the
work of SAT in the wider public sphere and to lead the income generation work.
Appoint. as funds allow. a new Senior Muslim Scholar to succeed Dr Rana Abu-mounes
when she completes her contract with SAT during 2024.
Strengthen our capacity to raise the financial resources required to fulfil our strategic plan,
partly through clearly sharing our vision with our partner charity, Bridge Trust USA, but also
through the recruitment of high nett worth donors in the UK
Further develop our collaborative work with other similar centres and movements around the
world. especially in Houston, USA, Ghana, and Indonesia
Ensure that we have adequate administrative Gapacity so as to release academic staff for
research, teaching and public engagement.
Trustees have plans to undertake various future projects which will be rolled out once we have
secure streams of income in place.
