We would like to invite you to our first Virtual Muslims for Progressive Values Retreat. This is a great opportunity to learn about inclusion based communities and to connect with progressive Muslims around the globe.
To RSVP by clicking this Zoom Link: shorturl.at/aipxO
For many years, Muslims for Progressive Values have had national retreats in person over a long weekend, but given the new normal, we decided why not proceed with a virtual version during Ramadan, a time of year where community is needed more than ever.
Programming will be forthcoming and it will be interactive, informative, spiritual, musical and poetic. You will get to meet the heads of our eight chapters and their organizing committees, the many members within our communities, MPV Ambassador Blair Imani will talk about her role as a Q***r Muslim, Imam Bukuru Elie Khalfan our partner in Burundi, Dr. Azza Karam a champion of human rights faith actors, and a few other surprises! You will learn about our work on issues of FGM/C, forced and child marriage, LGBTQ+ rights and on religious freedom. You will also get an insight on our Chaplain Endorsement program from David Oliver Kling, the chaplain who spearheaded setting up our endorsement system and how this is an important mechanism for MPV to normalize progressive and inclusive Islamic views.
Welcome! You are invited to join a meeting: MPV Virtual Retreat. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the meeting.
