Rev. Joan Dunn of All Saints Anglican Church in Erin<\/a> invited two imams and 30 Muslim worshippers to a Eucharist for joint Christian\/Muslim prayers and a question time with the imams.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m at a loss to understand why a question time was necessary. Is Dunn unaware of that most marvellous invention, the Internet? With little effort she could have discovered that Islam teaches that Jesus did not die on the cross, did not atone for our sins, was not resurrected, and was not God incarnate. Must be a perfect fit with diocesan theology.<\/p>\n

\"\"A behind the scenes look into the Erin Islamic Cultural Centre
\n<\/strong>On Sept. 29 the mosque held an interfaith service with Rev. Joan Dunn at the All Saints Anglican Church just up the street.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe all have the same faith, the same prophets,\u201d said Celik, explaining that the community is curious about the new mosque and had questions about the Islamic faith.<\/p>\n

The Erin Islamic Cultural Centre is inside a former Christian church. The group purchased the historical building and converted it into a mosque, trading wooden pews for soft carpet.<\/p>\n

Celik said the shift was quite simple, as the site was already zoned as a place of worship. The building has a separate prayer area for women, as well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To make the imams feel comfortable, did Rev. Joan Dunn sit in a separate prayer area for women?<\/p>\n

Note that the Erin Islamic Cultural Centre is inside a former Christian church. So is All Saints Anglican Church.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
