From Newark-
In response to many people’s questions and concerns raised about the recent and current regional, national and global news reports that have implied an inherent animosity between Muslims and Christians, Trinity Episcopal Church, located at 55 George Street in Allendale, is hosting a Muslim/Christian Dialogue Panel at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 8. The discussion panel will include Mohamed El Filali, outreach director of the Islamic Center of Passaic County; Nuray Sonmez, president of the Islamic Dialogue Center Women’s Association; and the Rev. Lisa Green, Diocese of Newark Ecumenical/ Interreligious Office.
The Rev. Michael Allen, rector of Trinity Episcopal Church, noted that the dialogue is not only intended to present a venue for Christians and Muslims to begin a conversation with each other, but to also answer the question of how the members of each faith community can work together to build up and transform our community life. Such a conversation will not only allow us to learn from each other about our similarities and differences, but also to begin a discernment process of relationship building that will be a permanent detour from the current divisive path we are traveling that is filled with the pratfalls of fear and ignorance.
