Dr. Ghazala Anwar & Rev. Jeremiah Kalendae
Worship Associate: 
Cassie Winters

This morning we will be led in worship by Dr. Ghazala Anwar. Dr. Anwar is one of the leading queer/feminist Islamic Quranic scholars in the world and a practitioner of Sufism. She will share some of her life’s journey and encounters with the divine in the Islamic mystical path with us. Dr. Anwar is one of the first women to lead mixed-gender people in prayer in the modern era and remains controversial for her work to this day. Our special service will include Dr. Anwar leading us in the Islamic Call to Prayer, Quranic reflection, and an opportunity to learn some simple sufi zhikr (chanting).
