On Sunday, April 15, the United Church of Fayetteville will have as its “sermon” an unscripted conversation among a Muslim, Jew and Christian, focused on their respective faith’s understanding of sin, mercy and God’s forgiveness.
“These Abrahamic Faiths in Conversation” will be lead by three men who have come together to lead interfaith conversations throughout our community. Meet them and hear how they developed this effort for the continued development of a civil community.
Jim Brulé is a member of Temple Concord and is a Maggid, an ordained spiritual guide and storyteller. He works regionally and nationally with Jewish and Interfaith groups on the deepening of spiritual experience and understanding.
Mohamed Khater is the (retiring) president of the Islamic Society of Central New York. He is president of the Rahma Health Clinic, 3100 South Salina St., providing free health care to all. In addition to his leadership in the Islamic and Interfaith communities, he has been appreciatively-received as a guest speaker in Jewish and Christian congregations.
Rev. Jim Kerr-Whitt retired after 24 years of ministry with the North Manlius United Church. He completed his vocation as a pastoral minister in 2015. Now a member of the United Church of Fayetteville, Kerr-Whitt is the American Baptist Churches’ representative to InterFaith Works’ Round Table of Faith Leaders. He was also the music and drama teacher at the Syracuse Hebrew (Jewish) Day School for 13 years.
All are invited to attend this special service. The United Church of Fayetteville is located at 310 E. Genesee St., Fayetteville. More info can be found at theucf.org or call 315-637-3186.
