Honest Conversations with Muslim Neighbors

Islamophobia -- fear, prejudice and hatred directed at Islam and Muslims -- is all
too evident in the US. Ignorance, misunderstanding and bigotry threaten religious freedom and interreligious coexistence for all of us. By getting to know, understand, and appreciate each other, as persons and as members of our various religious traditions, we can overcome this danger.

Thursday evening, April 28, you can be part of an informative, enriching "Honest Conversation."  A panel of Muslims from the Hartford area will share their beliefs, reflect on their experiences, and respond to your questions. You will also have a chance to engage the panelists -- and each other -- in interfaith dialogue on a personal, one-on-one level.
  • Date / Time: Thursday, April 28, 7:00pm
  • Location: The auditorium at the old Cathedral School, behind the Chancery building on Farmington Ave., Hartford. Parking will be available at the Archdiocesan Employee parking lot on Farmington Ave. or behind the Cathedral on Asylum Ave.
RSVP:  interfaith@ccfiu.org  /  (860) 556-9556

Sponsored by the Connecticut Council for Interreligious Understanding, the Muslim Coalition of Connecticut, and Hartford Seminary by special invitation of the Cathedral of St. Joseph and the Archdiocese of Hartford.
