Meet Your Muslim Neighbors:
A Dialogue What is it like to be a Muslim and live in New Hope, Crystal, or another Minnesota suburb? In what ways have things changed in recent years? What are the greatest challenges to practicing Muslims in the workplace, the schools, the neighborhood? Is there job discrimination due to name alone? What things do Muslims and non-Muslims tend to misunderstand most about each other? We see images of large numbers of people responding to calls for prayer in the Middle East but how does that "work" here?
On this evening we will have a dialogue with a panel of people who practice the Muslim faith and reside in our NW suburban region. This is an opportunity to replace our individual areas of ignorance with informa-tion and understanding. All are welcome at the Robbinsdale United Church of Christ, 4200 Lake Road, Robbinsdale, 55422. From the corner of 42nd Avenue N. (Co. Rd. 9) and Hwy. 81, go east two blocks on 42nd Avenue and then turn right (south) on Lake Road. The church is a block or two ahead on the left side. For information, Gloria at gjpeck@yahoo.com or Carole at 763-546-5368.
Please come.
