The Vision of Islam (see change of location)

On Thursday, November 13 Rev. Ron Graham will lead our discussion of Sachiko Murata and William Chittick's The Vision of Islam at First United Methodist Church of Elmhurst (232 S. York).  

The change of location is an accommodation for a special guest.  Ron has made arrangements for Professor Inamul Haq of Elmhurst College to join us from Noon-2:00 p.m.  Prof. Haq uses The Vision of Islam as an introductory textbook for Muslim and non-Muslim students alike.  

The authors explore basic Islamic beliefs and four dimensions of Islam, including practice, faith, spirituality, and history from a Muslim point of view. They incorporate teachings from the Koran, sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, and other traditional writings.

At a time when Muslims are frequently portrayed as terrorists, this session is an opportunity to learn more about Islamic faith from a respected Muslim practitioner, teacher, and leader.
