May 7 - Interfaith Dialogue - Christians and Muslims Talk, Seeking Knowledge and Understanding: Rich Geissler and Imam Mehmet Ayaz

This pair of forums brings together two persons who led forums last year, and from whom we learned a great deal. Rich Geissler has generated and led thought-provoking discussions on Christian-Muslim relations at St. Anne’s in Reston, where he is a member. He has certificates from the Virginia Theological Seminary Lay School of Theology and Evening School of Theology. Imam Mehmet Ayaz serves at the Ezher Bloom Mosque and the Institute of Islamic and Turkish Studies. In addition to speaking to St. Barnabas’ Adult Forum, he has helped to generate shared meals and fellowship between members of his Mosque and members of St. Barnabas’.
