Miami had already hosted two very successful events in the month of March. It was befitting to hold the same at St Matthew as it offered a great opportunity to discuss contemporary issues relating to Islam and dispel the myths about Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

Father James Quinn of St Matthew Catholic Church in Hallandale Beach first met Missionary in charge Imam Muhammad Saeed Khalid and Mr. Munawar Chaudhry, President of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community-Miami and at the National Day of Prayer Observance at the Hallandale Beach City Hall on May 2. During the course of the conversation, Father Quinn extended them an invitation to visit St Matthew.
Further communication and meetings panned out to an event at the Church premises. The goal was to inform the congregation about Islam and its basic tenants. Father Quinn extended a hand of friendship towards Ahmadiyya Muslim Community because he felt the urgency to bring the peaceful message of Islam to his congregation –and fill the information gap that exists. The need to foster understanding between Muslims and Christians was never greater.

Filling the information void is integral to fostering harmony and building bridges between faiths.
