Tomorrow, Tuesday, September 15, 10-11:30 am is the first Interfaith Gathering in Iowa City for Fall 2015. The gathering is now open to ALL women (not just moms, as in the past). The gathering continues to include women of all ages and faith backgrounds.
During the gathering we will consider and discuss the perspective of Muslim peace activist and women’s advocate Alas Murabit. How are religion, culture, and women’s rights intertwined? Are women’s and religious rights mutually exclusive? How can society be transformed by women’s participation?
We’ll begin by looking at the big questions and ideas through Murabit’s story, then, through discussion, relate it to our own lives as women representing a diversity of faith backgrounds and perspectives. This will be a great introduction to the fall line-up before our next gathering on Tuesday, October 6.
Join us Tuesday, September 15, 2015 from 10-11:30 am. First Presbyterian Church hosts the gathering in room 14 on the lower level at 2701 Rochester Ave, Iowa City. Quality childcare provided.
