Members of the Rumi Forum were hosted by the community of First Christian Church, Falls Church for an Interfaith Ramadan Iftar Dinner.
The Reverend Lee Hull Moses began the evening with a warm welcome and was followed by the call to prayer recited by Ali Ünsal of the Rumi Forum. Members of each community provided a beautiful and gracious spread of delicious foods. The meal was followed by speakers Steve Findley of First Christian Church and Tuba Alpat of the Rumi Forum who spoke about the practices of faith within the Christian and Islamic faith traditions.
The communities then joined together for a time of dialogue amongst themselves. The evening was completed by a reading from the Bible and the Qur’an. The Rumi Forum would like to thank the community of First Christian Church, Falls Church for a wonderful evening of dialogue and grace.
