On Monday June 30th Peace Islands hosted an interfaith Ramadan Iftar at Trinity Memorial Church in Center City Philadelphia to commemorate the Muslim Holy month of fasting. The event was cosponsored by Trinity Memorial Church and the Center City Residents Association along with support from other churches and synagogues.
The program started with a short presentation from Feyzi Eygoren on Islam and the purpose of fasting after which it continued with the call to prayer and finally dinner. With over 100 in attendance the night of dialogue proved to be platform for some diverse, interesting, and hopeful.
