Christians, Jews, and Muslims worship one God, the God of Abraham, who is considered by our Holy texts to be the father of the faithful. The three Abrahamic faiths share many core values and spiritual practices. But in the U.S. media today, Islam is often associated with extremism, intolerance, suppression of women, and violence. As Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam said at last week’s interfaith prayer service for four Marines allegedly shot by a Muslim man, “What are we supposed to do now?”
This Sunday, July 26, 2015, at 9:30 a.m., we welcome practicing Muslim and mother of three boys, Hina Khan-Mukhtar, to a conversation about her faith journey and our shared beliefs and values. We will respectfully address concerns and questions about hot topics. Hina Khan-Mukhtar is one of the founders of the homeschooling co-operative known as ILM Tree in Lafayette, California, which now serves over 35 homeschooling families in the East Bay. In addition to teaching Language Arts to elementary, middle school, and high school students, she has written articles on parenting and spiritual traditions for children and is committed to interfaith dialogue. Please bring family, friends, neighbors, questions, and concerns to this morning of peacemaking.
