Welcoming Strangers to Our Tents: Honoring the Legacy of Abraham
Sunday, January 26, 2020 – 2 to 4 p.m.
Farmington Valley American Muslim Center
35 Harris Road, Avon, CT
Judaism, Christianity and Islam all teach the importance of welcoming the stranger. But what is the basis for that and what does that mean for us today? Guided by a Rabbi, a Minister and an Imam, we’ll explore and discuss sacred texts from the three Abrahamic faiths and their lessons about radical hospitality.
Rabbi Debra Cantor of B’nai Tikvoh-Sholom
The Rev. Linda Spiers of St. John’s Episcopal Church, Essex
Imam Safwan Shaikh of Farmington Valley American Muslim Center
Join these faith leaders and enter into conversation with your neighbors! Free and all are welcomed. Donations gratefully accepted. Light refreshments will be served.
