Mosque Invited A Church To Use Its Space For Worship( by melody91: 3:27pm On Jun 07, 2017
This is for those of you acting so ignorantly on the other thread, Muslims too can be tolerant.

When a Michigan Unitarian Universalist congregation found
itself homeless as their church underwent construction, a
local mosque came to the rescue, offering them a space
free of charge.
“This has been the Muslim tradition for over 1,400 years —
to be hospitable, to take care of your guest,” Imam Sohail
Chaudhry of The Islamic Center of East Lansing told The
Huffington Post.
The church had been meeting in its own building for years
before deciding to buy and remodel a former school. But the
new space needed construction and wouldn’t be available
for several months.
The Islamic center, which hosts its main prayers on Fridays,
invited the Unitarian congregation to use its worship space
for Sunday services. The congregation met at the mosque
for about a month before settling into its new space in June.
Many of the UUA congregants had never been inside a
mosque before, said Rev. Kathryn Bert, senior minister of
the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Greater Lansing.
