Series Part 8 "Five Pillars of Islam" FINAL
In this warm and illuminating interfaith dialogue, Rev. Kristin welcomes Imam Fatih Ateş of the Pacifica Institute to explore the Five Pillars of Islam and the deeper meaning behind this ancient faith tradition. Together they discuss how Islam - rooted in the word for peace and surrender to God - calls its followers toward spiritual perfection through faith, good deeds, and good character. Imam Fatih addresses common misconceptions about jihad and Islamophobia while emphasizing that personal connection and friendship across traditions is the most powerful antidote to fear and misunderstanding. This beautiful conversation models the interfaith bridge-building both leaders champion as essential for our shared humanity.
