Dr. Mahjabeen Hassan Addresses Engage on Sunday September 11, 2011 (after worship and coffe hour)
Dr. Mahjabeen Hassan, a well-known plastic surgeon in the Westchester area has been a featured speaker on interfaith topics in a post-9/11 world. She came to the U.S in 1977 after completing medical school in Pakistan. In her words, her profession gives her a unique window into the commonalities between all people. “I take up the skin and look inside. I see that we truly are all the same. It’s in the mind that we are different. I believe you can have multiple paths to (God). We have different religions but we are talking about the same thing.”
Dr. Hassan will share her reflections about how 9/11 has changed her thinking and her vision in moving forward. She will also speak about what we as a community can do to address the rise of Islamophobia. As a devoted member of AMWA, she will tell us about the changes that are taking place within the Muslim community.
Please join us. This is a very significant event.

See pictures from the Second Annual John Collins Justice Fund Dinner on October 17 which honored and celebrated JOANNE GARDNER for her efforts in trying to make a difference in the lives of women and men in need in and around Yonkers and REVEREND ED MULLER and the incarcerated men and women who together developed life-giving opportunities through the promotion of higher education in NY State and the Exodus Program.

We still have a few T-shirts left, and can order more if necessary. They're perfect for wearing around the community to declare your Welcoming church home, or as nightshirts for the kids! See Joan in the church office.
