Boston Cathedral’s Call To Be A ‘House Of Prayer.

Boston cathedrals call to be a House of prayer extends to Muslims Friday prayers.
Faithful believers arrive at St. Paul's Cathedral Church every Friday afternoon to find 15 holy letters of prayer that end in the sanctuary.


An Egyptian attends regular Friday or Friday prayers in the Basinian Episcopal Church. She is one of a few hundred men and a handful of women - mostly immigrants from North Africa, South and Southeast Asia, the Middle East and the Balkans - who pray together. In Islam, Friday is considered a holy day of worship. In general, Muslims pray five times a day, but on Friday the men have to pray in the afternoon.

One of the ways the Church welcomes the Muslim community is that it is on its way to becoming a "prayer for all people" in its mission. In the United States, where religious literacy is declining but religion is playing an increasing role in cultural narratives, interfaith relationships promote tolerance.

Starting Sunday, St. Paul's "Abraham: One of Many" will host in partnership with Boston's Jewish and Muslim communities. Submitted by caravan October 27 - December. The exhibition illuminates the concept of living through the harmony of the artist's painting, which interprets Abraham's life and faith journey.

"A lot of people struggle to really understand their traditions and to give up other people's traditions. And I've found that when you talk to people from other traditions, you have to do it. It also makes us learn more about our tradition "Dean of the Church Amy MacCreate said of the exhibition in an offer. It seems to me that it is really very important to understand our tradition and to know how it is connected to Judaism and Islam and to deal with this sectarianism and violence. Both through knowledge of history and through construction of real-time relationships with real people.
