Pax Christi/Baltimore and other co-sponsoring groups will present a "Tent of Abraham" interfaith peace event on Sunday, October 8, 2006 from 3:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the American Friends Service Committee building, 4806 York Road. The AFSC building is located just north of Cold Spring Lane and next to the Govans Post Office. The event will feature participation from Christian, Jewish, and Muslim faiths.
The program will begin with gathering prayer. After the gathering prayer, there will
be a panel discussion on the peace traditions of each of faiths. Panel members will
be: Christian: Rev. Robert E. Albright (Campus Ministry, Towson University), Jewish:
Rabbi Liz Bolton (Congregation Beit Tikvah), Muslim: Imam Yahya Hendi (Muslim
Chaplain, Georgetown University).
Following the panel discussion will be a brief period for prayer or personal
reflection. Non-Muslim participants can be present at and silently observe the
afternoon Muslim prayer. After prayer and reflection, there will be an interfaith
prayer service for peace. Weather permitting, the prayer service will be held
outdoors under a tent, in keeping with the Tent of Abraham theme. The prayer
service leaders will be: Christian: Sr. Tricia Kirk, OSB, Jewish: Rabbi Liz Bolton,
Muslim: Imam Irfan Kabeeyuddin
The interfaith prayer service will conclude at sunset with sharing of food and
drink to end the daily Ramadan fast.
The October 8 program is a response to the national call by the Shalom Center in
Philadelphia for interfaith activities in the month of October for 2005, 2006, and
2007. Due to a unique convergence of religious calendars, religious observances or
significant dates for the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim faiths will coincide during
this short time period, for each year.
ALL ARE WELCOME TO THIS PROGRAM. ADMISSION IS FREE (free will offering requested).
