CHRISTIANS AND MUSLIMS TOGETHER  ...A discussion series 

Sundays: April 20,  27, May 4, 11 & 18  in the Lounge, 11:30 am

Christians and Muslims Together; a book which promotes dialogue between Presbyterians and Muslims, will be our guide; especially in the following chapters:

Ch. 1— A Summary of the Faith and Practice of Islam

Ch. 5— Issues of Theology and Practice

Ch. 6— Directions for the Future--The Search for Understanding

 

Our discussion series will include guests, Mosleh Ashkar and Abdullah Younes, who have previously presented testimonies about their Islamic faith to various Christian groups. We will gather in the lounge at 11:30 am on the above listed dates and copies of the three mentioned chapters will be available at the first session.

 

Mosleh Ashkar was born in Palestine and his family became refugees  forced to flee to southern Lebanon. They eventually settled in Damascus, Syria. After his retirement, Mosleh joined relatives in Madison and became a US citizen. While here he has actively pursued an interest in writing;  publishing several books of Arabic poetry as well as a few books about Madison also in Arabic.

 

Abdullah also was born in Palestine and with his parents and siblings became refugees in 1948. He has resided with his wife and daughters in Madison since 1981. He obtained a degree in civil engineering from UW Madison in 1985 and is currently employed by Dane County
