[Magdalen] Ramadan insights

[Grace Cangialosi]

There's an Islamic group here in Charlottesville called the Rumi Forum that sponsors interfaith events. I went to one recently that was looking at extremism from Christian, Jewish and Muslim perspectives. it was held in a Presbyterian Church, they served a Turkish dinner, and then there was a panel discussion. There were quite a few Episcopalians there, including several clergy.
That got us on their mailing list, and we've been invited to come to one of their Ramadan dinners and learn about Ramadan. The group I went with before is going to go again. I'm very glad this is happening.

I visited a local primary school today and talked with some of the children
about what Ramadan means to them. I was impressed by the answers.

A couple of people in the US have shared this in their Church facebook
groups which is lovely.

Best wishes
