SUMMARY:Ramadan 2023 - An overview of Iftar programs
DESCRIPTION:Ramadan 2023 was an extraordinary time for Rumi Forum and its community partners. After three years of social distancing\, this special period was the moment to reconnect with our friends and allies\, sharing the joy of Iftar while engaging in fruitful conversations regarding future endeavors. Ramadan also became the opportunity to carry our monthly Scriptural Reasoning series into an in-person format\, which we would like to continue in the future. We thank our community partners\, allies\, friends\, and volunteers for making Ramadan an invaluable opportunity to strengthen and build new friendships. \nRamadan Reunion Iftar \n \nIftar w/friends from George Mason University Carter`s School for Peace and Conflict Resolution \n \nIftar w/Institute for Interreligious Study&Dialogue students from Catholic University of America \n \nIftar with Good Shepherd Lutheran Church Congregation (Alexandria\, VA)  \n \nIftar with St. Mark Presbyterian Church Congregation (Rockville\, MD)  \n \nIftar with Burke United Methodist Church Congregation (Burke\, VA) \n \nIftar with Adat Shalom Reconstructionist Congregation (Bethesda\, MD) \n \nIftar with members of the Sikh Foundation of VA \n \nIftar with members of the Interfaith Encounter Association (IEA) \n \nIftar w/Interfaith Council of Metropolitan Washington\,Shoulder 2 Shoulder&Baptist Joint Comm \n \nScriptural Reasoning session on “Neighbors” and Iftar at Virginia Theological Seminary (VTS) \n \nIftar with Braver Angels-DC Project with “America`s Public Forum”

SUMMARY:Panel Discussion: Interfaith Bridges\, Intrafaith Divides\, and Polarization
DESCRIPTION:On March 30\, 2023\, Rumi Forum and the Braver Angels D.C. Project organized a special America’s Public Forum event on interfaith alignments\, intrafaith divisions\, and the experiences of religious communities in American polarization in our time. \nDiscussants were Rich Tafel\, Minister of the Church of the Holy City in downtown Washington\, D.C.\, and Ibrahim Anli\, Executive Director of Rumi Forum. Between their interfaith and pastoral and intellectual work\, they brought decades’ worth of experience to questions of the place of religion in American public life amid all the divides of the recent past. Luke Nathan Phillips of Braver Angels hosted a conversation with them examining the ongoing divides in and between religious communities\, the lasting common ground and prospects for new bridges among them\, and the ways religious communities’ navigation of these divisions might inform approaches to American polarization as a whole. \nFollowing the conversation\, including audience Q&A\, participants joined an Iftar dinner courtesy of the Rumi Forum. The event took place at the Friends Meeting of Washington\, DC. \nEvent Photos \n[ngg src=”galleries” ids=”409″ display=”basic_thumbnail” thumbnail_crop=”0″]
