I wonder if Saudi Arabia would allow Catholics to use Mecca’s Grand Mosque for Sunday mass?
Via CAIR press release:
Washington National Cathedral and five Muslim groups announced today the first celebration of Muslim Friday prayers (Jumaa) at the Cathedral on Friday, November 14.
Leaders believe offering Muslim prayers at the Christian cathedral shows more than hospitality. It demonstrates an appreciation of one another’s prayer traditions and is a powerful symbolic gesture toward a deeper relationship between the two Abrahamic traditions.
What: Muslim Friday Prayers at Washington National Cathedral
When: Friday, November 14, 11:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.
Who:
The Rev. Canon Gina Campbell, director of liturgy for Washington National Cathedral
