SUMMARY:Scriptural Reasoning: "Pilgrimage"
DESCRIPTION:Rumi Forum had its monthly circle on November 14\, 2023\, to study Abrahamic scriptures on the topic of “Pilgrimage” with our study leader\, Dr. Mehmet Saracoglu\, from the Center for Faith\, Identity\, and Globalization. \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               \n\nAn article on pilgrimage by Hakan Yesilova\nfrom “Abraham: A Story of True Submission” \n \n\nThis Month`s Study Leader \n\nDr. Mehmet Saracoglu is a community organizer with academic experience who brings passion and leadership together.
