Being Muslim in today’s world

PLYMOUTH CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
Waveland Hall, 4126 Ingersoll Ave, DES MOINES

in-person and online options

SABRIYA KHAN
Muslim Community Organization, Masjid An-Noor

Islam is one of the largest religions in the world but for those who are not Muslim, do we really know enough about the beliefs, practices, and sense of community found in the tradition? How have world events and human biases impacted daily living for the Muslim community – historically and especially right now? Sabriya Khan, a leader in the Des Moines Muslim community, will share her perspective.

Join us at the Interfaith Alliance of Iowa Crossroads luncheon in September as we hold our second Understanding Our Neighbors project focused on learning about and understanding one another just a little bit more.

There are three ways to attend Crossroads. Registration is required for all three:

• Attend in person (with lunch) by clicking here. Four bag lunch sandwich options are available: turkey, roast beef, ham salad, and vegetarian; brown bag lunches are $15 each. You must pre-order and pay for your lunch by 12:00 PM on Tuesday, September 17. Late orders or walk-in requests for lunch will not be available.
• Attend in person (no lunch) by clicking here. There is no cost for this option, but you must RSVP to ensure we have enough seating.
• Watch via YouTube by clicking here. This online presentation will be livestreamed on our YouTube channel.

Understanding Our Neighbors is a project of Interfaith Alliance of Iowa intended to help each of us listen to and understand those who differ from us. After all, if we don’t take the time to understand our neighbors, how can we ever move our world to one that is less divided? Understanding Our Neighbors may appear as a speaker at one of our luncheons (Crossroads and Intersections), a Zoom gathering, or in other ways. We invite you to come ready to learn, listen, ask questions, and find a better understanding of your neighbors.
