Upcoming Events
America:  The Gateway to Humanity’s Future 
An Evening with Irish Mystic Lorna Byrne
 
May 1, 2012.  In the beautiful setting of St. Bartholomew's Church, with standing room only (the event had sold out a week before), Lorna Byrne enthralled the audience of Christians, Muslims, and Jews as she related her experience of seeing angels, to her interviewer, Imam Feisal.  “What does my guardian angel look like?” was the most asked question as people lined up to seek answers.  Rev. James Forbes mesmerized the audience with his rendition of angels.  When Lorna stood up to bless the attendees, all the faithful lined up. More photos here.

Seminary Students Discuss
Women’s Status in Islam
 
April 15, 2012.  In an intimate living room setting, Sabeeha Rehman spoke to students of the Long Island Seminary Program on women’s status in Islam.  A very engaged group delved deep into marriage, violence against women, religion vs. culture, and so many other challenges that muslim women face today.
