Topic:
Meeting the Muslims - The Need for Faith-Based Engagement in America
Faith-based organizations continue to play a major role in contemporary American life. As Muslims find their place alongside the faith fabric of America, more and more Muslims recognize the need for greater engagement with other faith communities, focusing on areas of common concern, such as the poverty alleviation, refugee services, community development, economic justice, addressing structural inequality, respecting the right to practice one's faith and education. How can Muslims continue to find ways to contribute in a meaningful way to society while maintaining their identity and bringing their unique perspective to the mainstream?
Join us for a fascinating conversation with an eminent American Muslim leader who works in the US Department of State and engages on these very issues.
