Event
Eat with Muslims
We are very pleased to present an evening for peacemaking, fellowship, community building, and learning, one bite at a time. On Saturday evening, January 27th, 2018, St. Andrew Presbyterian Church in Renton, WA is honored to welcome Fathia Absie and Ilays Aden and their friends, who will host a dinner, conversation and program for our community. Eat With Muslims (EWM) is a project founded by two Somali-American women to gather people of all faiths and backgrounds to come together and share stories from each other's perspectives. We will provide the food and all you need to bring is your beautiful soul!
Why do we want to do this? Well let the EWM website speak to the goal:
In an atmosphere of increasing hate and intolerance, we must become a greater and proactive force for compassion and understanding. The Eat with Muslims (EWM) project is a grass-roots movement to help aggressively counter misperceptions of Muslims. We live in an age where neighbors dont get to know one another anymore, making it easy for preconceived notions to thrive. We are committed to building bridges between people of different cultures and faiths, bringing them together over delicious food and fostering dialogue. This project is designed to give the American Muslim community the chance to reach out and take charge of their narrative. We believe that eating together and sharing our stories is what will strengthen and enrich our country and our values.
The dinner is free, but tickets are limited. Please only sign up for those tickets you're certain you will use so we can have an accurate number for meal preparations.
Also, AirBnB Magazine is doing a story on Eat With Muslims, and will be sending a photographer to the dinner to take pictures of the event. He asks that guests refrain from wearing white shirts or shirts with logos on them. He will have release forms available for people to sign. If you do not want to be captured, please let us know at the dinner. Thank you!
