Interfaith Dialogue & Speakers Network 

Muslims seek to learn and foster positive fellowship amongst the greater community.  By bringing together Islamic speakers and those willing to learn about Islam, this program aims to educate non-Muslims about the religion of Islam through presentations and discussions. Creating a network of various groups already undertaking such dawa (education) activities, this program will unite their efforts into one concentrated and organized effort. If you would like a presentation on Islam or would like to participate in the program contact Carema Cook or fill out our feedback form.
