Q&A Discussion Circle w/the Imam -- In one of our mosque unique post-jumma'a discussions, several congregants share their stories in-depth about their journeys to Islam through The Nation of Islam. When a congregant asks Imam Gail Kennard to share a time she resisted submitting to patience, she shares her amazing journey starting out at the UU Church as a teenager who was interested in social justice but who had no interest in religion, then joining the Nation of Islam for the same interests in empowerment, and finally finding her way to Islam as a faith and spiritual/religious practice - an ending she never could have seen herself embracing as a staunchly secular teenager.
