Countering Islamophobia

Past event
Feb 5, 2017, 10 AM

Sunday Service at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Springfield with Rev. M’ellen Kennedy. Although we are being whipped up into fear of Islam and Muslims, what do we really have to be afraid of? M'ellen has learned as a Sufi (the mystical tradition of Islam) and an active participant in the national grassroots effort to counter Islamophobia. Drawing on her participation for several years in the Islamic Society of North America Conference and the Emerging Faith Leaders Seminar, the speaker will share stories, data and experiences to help us gain insights into this complex issue. Let us bridge that gap of misunderstanding and do our part to create a more peaceful, harmonious world. A discussion will follow the presentation. Everyone welcome.
