This lunch and lecture will look into the fastest growing religion in the world. Is Islam an Abrahamic faith tradition? What are the origins of Islam? How do Muslims feel about other religions? Why are there so many Mosques? Are men and women equal in the Islamic faith? What is Jihad? Come learn about a religion that is often a topic of conversation in the coffee shop and the news.
Fr. Jim Kane is Director of Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs at the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany. He is a leader in interfaith dialogue locally and nationally.
