Mosque Design and Experiences
Christopher McCoy will describe his experiences designing Mosques and other projects for a variety of Muslim Communities. While illustrating some of the mosques he’s designed, Chris will also discuss lessons learned and poignant stories. Some comparisons and contrasts with Churches may be highlighted, since he has experience with them too. A portion of the discussion will be an open discussion for questions and answers.

For 23 years, a group of primarily Christians and Muslims have convened monthly to seek mutual understanding and respect for their respective faith paths. People of all faith groups, and those with a secular bent of mind, are welcome to participate. This Christian-Muslim Dialogue meets to discuss historical, political and cultural issues that have shaped the current context and contributed to the views we hold today.
We offer these events as a means to explore the background and ramifications of events – to probe, to understand and to find the way forward as individuals, as religious groups, and as nations. Such dialogue is now more important than ever. We hope you will join us.
