Deacon Bruce Nickerson's Lecture Series: "What is Islam?"

What is Islam?
To foster a broader understanding between faiths, St. Elizabeth's Episcopal Church will feature a three part Lenten series about Islam during March and April 2011. 

Each session will contain a question and answer period open to the audience.

The series will include: a history of Muhammad’s life; a review of the Quran; and a summary of Sunnah (Islamic culture).  Consideration will be given to the Quran’s relationship to Christianity’s and Judaism’s scriptures and beliefs; current misunderstandings about Islam; and Islam’s supposed links to terrorism.

The talks will be given by Taymullah Abdur-Rahman.
Taymullah Abdur-Rahman is a native of Boston. After traveling to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina for a period of study, Taymullah was certified to teach Islamic Fundamentals. He is currently Muslim chaplain for three Mass. Dept. Of Corrections Institutions.

The series is free.  People of all faiths are encouraged to attend.
