Several ICS community members attended the first Faith 250 gathering including our Imam and family and it would be wonderful to have more Muslims sharing their views and stories at these events.

More than one hundred people gathered around small tables, sharing honest, deep conversations about our nation’s past, present and future. People from some 20 faith traditions, or none at all, from new immigrants to third generation Scrantonians, from a few children under 12 to people in their 80s. People left feeling more hope than when they came after discussing the lyrics to America the Beautiful.
