What I Love about Islam” – Rev. Dr. M’ellen Kennedy

The tension and misunderstandings between the Islamic World and the West are costly and severe. Ali, the cousin of the prophet said, “People are afraid of what they don’t understand.” Many of us Westerners have very little exposure to and thus understanding of Islam. This worship service is an opportunity to bridge this gap and to open our hearts and minds to what valuable life lessons we can gain from this powerful and inspiring religious tradition.

Music: 9:00 am Women’s Choir. 11:00 am Men’s Choir

Rev. Dr. M’ellen Kennedy is a Unitarian Universalist minister and also a Sufi minister who lives in Lincoln, Vermont. She is founder of “Peace and Unity Bridge,” an organization dedicated to cultivating Muslim and non-Muslim Friendship and Understanding, which is funded in part by a grant from the Unitarian Universalist Fund for Social Responsibility. Rev. M’ellen serves two Universalist congregations in Washington and St. Johnsbury, Vermont. She is also a co-founder of the UU Small Group Ministry Network.
