Who is My Neighbor? (part 2)

Rev. Dr. Carolyn Scanlan-Holmes • April 24, 2024

Welcome our Guest, Judge David Shaheed

On this Sunday, we welcomed Judge David Shaheed, who shared his Muslim faith tradition with us. He and his daughters recently returned from a pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia to make the spiritual journey of Umrah, the lsser Hajj. He has made the entire Hajj twice in his lifetime. These pilgrimages are deeply transformative experiences and provide a time of unity, humility, and devotion. Making the Hajj is one of the 5 Pillars of Islam and Judge Shaheed will help us understand the 5 Pillars and their significance to Muslims all over the world. Judge Shaheed has been a trial judge in the Marion County Superior Court for over 20 years, has served as the Chairman of the Board of the Center for Interfaith Cooperation and was recently honored as the 2024 CIC Interfaith Ambassador of the Year. Following the service, Judge Shaheed joined us for “Together in 111” to share slides from his recent trip and answer questions.

A poignant blog post by Betty Brandt reflecting on a poem her father, James M. Buck, wrote to her in 1944 while stationed at Ft. McClellan, Alabama, during World War II. Betty shares her father’s love for poetry, his role as a unit scribe in Patton’s Army, and the heartfelt stories of camaraderie and survival among his fellow soldiers. Interweaving themes of love, storytelling, and faith, this post encourages readers to cherish and share their own family stories, creating connections filled with healing and sacred moments.
