Easter At The Mosque

For twelve years, the Spirit Life Church has been holding their Easter service at Pioneer Christian Church, but this year their lease was up. They had very little time to try and find a place for the 500 members that were expecting this service for Easter. Reverend Michael Moran didn't know where to hold the service, until the title in a newspaper "Easter at the Mosque" was seen in a dream of his one night. The next morning, although feeling dubious, called Mr. Metwalli Amer to ask permission to use the Sacramento Mosque for his Easter Christian gathering. After talking to the Board of Trustees, they agreed to let them have their Christian service in the Mosque on Easter. This set a precedent, as no non-muslim group has ever been allowed to worship inside the mosque. Mr. Metwalli commented on his advocacy toward interfaith religion and reminded us that this act of kindness represents the true state of Islam. This "Easter at the Mosque" attracted so many of the Christian followers at the church that they had to conduct two services. Moran said he was overwhelmed with joy at how everything seemed to workout effortlessly and thanked the people of the Islamic church.
