Often we hear about how “white privilege” favors America Caucasians; However, this time we’ll discuss how non-Christians – namely Muslims – have to navigate through a culture – within the general public sphere – that is not always conducive to the holidays, attire, and to a large degree even the educational needs of Muslims because the “traditional” societal patterns are designed to favor Christians.

We will exchange thoughts on things our Christian family members and friends can learn about non-Christians from this conversation.

We are grateful that America has become more inclusive, yet there is room for improvement. Join us on Sun. Aug. 21st as we discuss the topic: "Being Muslims in a Christian privilege Society.”
