Kristin Powell welcomes Muslim imam and interfaith leader Fatih Atish for a rich dialogue exploring the significance of Ramadan as it begins during this holy season. Together they discuss the foundational beliefs and five pillars of Islam, the spiritual purposes of fasting - including cultivating empathy, self-discipline, and compassion - and how reading the Quran cover to cover each year offers fresh spiritual renewal. Rev. Kristin Powell creates a warm space for interfaith understanding, highlighting the shared Abrahamic roots that connect diverse faith traditions and inviting the Unity of Walnut Creek community to deepen relationships through an upcoming Ramadan interfaith gathering.
