On Sunday, Jan. 24 at 11:15 a.m. The First Congregational Church of Darien will host an open and frank discussion about the Islam faith and traditions.  All are welcome to attend.  The discussion will be held in Parish Hall, 14 Brookside Road, Darien.

“You can’t go a day without hearing about Islam,” says Gary Morello, Associate Minister at First Congregational Church. “So we’ve invited our Muslim friends to join us to answer questions and dialogue with us.”

Organizers hope the panel will help the community understand when this religion began, what its core beliefs are, how the Sunni split happened, and much more.

First Congregational hopes the Darien community will come learn more about the Islam faith and how Islam connects to Christianity (hint:  Mary is a rock star in the Koran). Light refreshments and childcare will be provided.
