Ismaili Jamatkhana and Centre hosts the InterFaith Network of Calgary

On January 18, 2009 the Ismaili Muslim Community hosted the Interfaith Network of Calgary at the Ismaili Jamatkhana and Centre.

The session was attended by 40 participants from the Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Sikh and Ismaili Muslim faith tradition.

Rev. Tom Melvin brought a group of youth from Deer Park United Church to attend this session as part of the requirement towards their Confirmation.

Jamil Kassam, an Ismaili Muslim scholar, talked about "Identity and Pluralism,” with reference to the Ismailis in Calgary.


This was followed by group discussion.





At the end of the session, some of the participants toured the Jamatkhana.
