BREAD welcomes first Muslim group as member
The Noor Islamic Cultural Center in Dublin has become the first Muslim organization to join the social-justice group Building Responsibility, Equality and Dignity, or BREAD.
The interfaith alliance of Christian and Jewish congregations works on social-justice issues such as affordable housing and health care. All 50 member congregations are in Franklin County; the group formed in 1996.
Noor was inducted, along with four Christian groups, at a ceremony yesterday.
"Our goals go with BREAD very well," said Hany Saqr, director of the mosque. "We are looking for justice in the community, and they are looking for justice in the community."
Saqr said he also appreciates the opportunity for Muslims to work alongside people of other faiths on common concerns.
