Our Interfaith Visit to the Mosque in Cardiff

On 30th September a small group of us from St David's Uniting Church visited the Mosque in Cathays, Cardiff. We were warmly welcomed and sat through Friday prayers, after which explanations were given as to the Imam's part and the times to prostrate and bow.

That was followed by members of the congregation (all men and one woman) joining us for questions and discussions.

We were then shown around every part of the mosque, including the library which contained splendid copies of the Qu'ran. Copies were given to us as we left, as well as a booklet setting out the tenets of the Muslim faith, and a leaflet with all the activities run by the Mosque.

The group felt that this was a worthwhile event and look forward to further contacts and visits.

Thanks to Russell Howells for sharing this experience
