Ministry in Contemporary Culture Series
A one-day seminar featuring Maria Ebrahimji
co-editor of the book I Speak for Myself: American Women on Being Muslim
Our self-perception is to a large extent shaped by our core convictions... the effects of which can lay hidden
for a lifetime.
Identity is shaped in part by the core convictions of one's faith. Yet often we are unable see exactly how these are interrelated. By listening to voices from outside the Christian faith tradition, we may be able to more clearly see the role faith plays in shaping one's identity. A panel of Muslim women will share stories of how their faiths shape and inform who they are.
