Advent Pilgrimage - Jesus Fatwa – Love  Your (Muslim) Neighbour as Yourself Our Advent Pilgrimage this year will be a discussion group featuring the Living the Questions series, Jesus Fatwa – Love Your (Muslim) Neighbour as Yourself.  We will be meeting Friday mornings, Nov. 6, Nov. 13, Nov. 20, Nov. 27, and Dec. 4 from 10:00 – 11:30 a.m. The discussion will be led by Faye Greer and Anne Nesbitt. Everyone welcome!A Fatwa is a legal opinion or a learned interpretation.  Much of what passes as information about Islam is weed-like disinformation rooted in stereotype and watered by fear. In The Jesus Fatwah, Islamic and Christian scholars offer reliable information about what Muslims believe, how they live out their faith, and how we all can be about building relationships across the lines of faith.The 5 week series features seventeen Islamic and Christian scholars, including:Hans Küng (Islam: Past, Present and Future); Brian McLaren (Why Did Jesus, Moses, the Buddha, and Mohammed Cross the Road?); Eboo Patel (Acts of Faith: The Story of an American Muslim); Stephen Prothero (God is Not One: The Eight Rival Religions That Run the World--and Why Their Differences Matter); Feisal Abdul Rauf (What's Right with Islam Is What's Right with America).
