SUMMARY:The Welcoming Mosque
DESCRIPTION:When masjids do not welcome attendees\, community members find other places to go. \nIn recent national mosque surveys\, mosque attendees have complained about lack of community\, being dissatisfied with mosque programming\, a lack of unity\, and a lack of belongingness. What can we do about this? \nJoin this discussion-based event with two community servants who have been thinking a lot recently about what the Prophetic mosque looks like in 2022 in the U.S. \nWe will focus on barriers mosques face today trying to be more dynamic and responsive to the challenges of youth and the undeserved\, characteristics of the Prophetic mosque that some Churches are pulling off better than some masjids\, and specific\, tangible recommendations to foster a welcoming\, inclusive environment. \n6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. | Friday\, January 21* | MCC Conference Room | Join in-person (mask req’d) or watch online at mcceastbay.org/live \n*Updated date \nSheikha Amina Darwish “Imamina” started as the Associate Dean for Religious and Spiritual Life and Advisor for Muslim Life in February 2021.
