"Miracles In Islam"
Imam Abdurrahman Sykes
The Qur'anic form of Jesus' name is 'Isa ibn Maryam, Jesus the Son of Mary. 'Isa ibn Maryam is attested to twenty-five times in the Qur'an. The Qur'an asserts that he was a prophet and gives him the unique title "the Messiah (the anointed one/the liberator)." It affirms his virginal conception, cites miracles which he performed by divine permission, and states that God raised him into His/Her Divine presence. Fifty years ago, Imam Sykes was at lay speaker preparing for a life of Christian ministry. He left his church for a time of reflection and spent six years working to end apartheid in South Africa. He now serves as a chaplain at Rollins College and is president of Islamic Society Leading American Muslims, Imam Sykes works to build bridges of peace, dialogue, and understanding.

“Homelessness: The Why, The Who, and the How”
Dr. Joel Hunter
A longtime bridge-builder who seeks common ground for the common good, Dr. Hunter approaches today’s challenges in a biblical and balanced manner. He served as senior pastor of Northland Church in Longwood, FL for 32 years. In 2017 he transitioned from that role on a mission to “go from my best interpretation of what the Bible says, to my best imitation of how Jesus lived. Now, Dr. Hunter, a full-time volunteer, serves as the Chairman of the COMMUNITY RESOURCE NETWORK a non-profit organization, he founded, that focuses on helping the marginalized - specifically homeless families. Dr. Hunter will update us on local and regional efforts to address homelessness.
