SUMMARY:Scriptural Reasoning: "Refugees"
DESCRIPTION:Rumi Forum had its monthly circle on January 18\, 2024\, to study Abrahamic scriptures on the topic of “Refugees” with our study leader\, Aaron R. Dunn\, from the Episcopal Diocese of Washington. \nScriptural Reasoning (SR) allows Christians\, Jews\, and Muslims to study each other’s sacred texts. SR participants meet monthly to read short passages on a topic from their respective scriptures. Facilitated by a study leader\, each session is an opportunity to listen and share various perspectives. SR sessions help participants reflect on a curious list of topics within the Abrahamic tradition. The result is often a deeper understanding of others and one’s scriptures and the development of strong bonds across faith communities. \n                  Scriptural Reasoning: Introduction                   Jewish Scripture: Hebrew Bible \n               \n                Christian Scripture: New Testament                          Islamic Scripture: Quran \n               \nThis Month`s Study Leader \n\nAaron R. Dunn is a deacon for Holy Orders in the Episcopal Diocese of Washington and recently completed his Master’s in Divinity student at Virginia Theological Seminary.

SUMMARY:Interreligious Communities Project: Site Visit to Drikung Dharma Surya Center
DESCRIPTION:Rumi Forum and Sharing Sacred Spaces visited the Drikung Dharma Surya Center in Fairfax\, VA\, on Sunday\, January 28\, from  7 to 9:30 pm. This interfaith visit had representatives from six different religious communities present to explore this sacred space and build understanding and unity across faiths. These congregations are participating in an interreligious effort to build understanding and solidarity across differences. Even in this time of heightened bias and polarization\, gathering and sharing our mutual humanity seeds hope. \nOur friends at the Temple greet us with warm hospitality\, love\, and compassion.  We learned the story and heart of their religion and its practices\, had the opportunity to participate in rituals\, heard from members about their spiritual journey\, walked the space\, enjoyed delicious food (from the origins of Tibet\, Mongolia\, and China)\, and joined in the dialogue.  Participants came with their curiosity and questions and took this opportunity to meet their neighbors and build the foundations for peace. \nThis visit is part of the Interreligious Communities Project (Northern VA/Washington).
