Adult Forum-Sunday, September 12th
This Sunday at 9:15 am we will begin our Adult Forum program. With the upcoming anniversary of 9/11 and the recent news regarding tensions in America regarding the Muslim faith, we will be presenting the film "The Imam & The Pastor". This 39-minute documentary film brings to life the astonishing reconciliation between Imam Muhammad Ashafa and Pastor James Wuye, and their peace-making initiatives which have ensued. They were leaders of militant groups involved in conflict between Muslims and Christians in Kaduna, northern Nigeria. Pastor Wuye lost a hand while Imam Ashafa's mentor and two close relatives were killed in the fighting. Now they are taking bold initiatives to promote co-operation and resolve conflicts. The film, narrated by Rageh Omaar, shows that it is possible for the perpetrators of inter-religious violence to become instigators of peace. It is a story of forgiveness and a case study of grass-roots initiatives to rebuild communities torn apart by conflict.
To allow time for the film and discussion, we will begin promptly at 9:15 in the sanctuary. Childcare will be available in the nursery for birth-4yrs and older children can Sunday School.
