Children of Abraham Annual Conversation on Wednesday, 10 Nov 2021, at 7pm.
Children of Abraham, set up in 2019, is the initiative of the Pearl of the Islands Foundation (Muslim), Beth Shalom Progressive Synagogue (Jewish) and the Holy Trinity Anglican Cathedral (Christian). The aim of this initiative is to promote inter-faith understanding and co-operation between members of the three monotheistic religions, Islam, Judaism and Christianity by holding annual panel discussions.
The Pearl of the Islands Foundation is the host for this year’s event.
Our theme for this year’s panel is to use a Scripture story that is in common, and yet slightly distinct, in Biblical and Quranic narratives (Genesis 22, Surah As-Saffat 37:102-111). The nuances of the story lead us to the presentation that speaks, in most general views, about how in our own religious traditions we understand the Scriptures.
This year our speakers will talk about
. The sacred story of the binding of Isaac in Jewish, Christian and Muslim traditions
. An Introduction to the Scriptures (parts, formats etc.)
Ways of reading Scripture
. How does your way of reading Scriptures affect your faith life?

Shabbaton Postponed to March 25-27 2022. We have had to postpone the Shabbaton based on the information we received today from the government. It would probably take at least 6 weeks to get through the 3 stages of level 3 to get us to level 2 which would take us past the October 26th decision date required by Carey Park to change the date. It is also clear to us also that the 50 person limit will not make a Shabbaton financially viable based on the cost to reserve Carey Park.
We are planning to have a Taste of Shabbaton on Saturday, November 27th at Beth Shalom. It will include tefillot, workshops and havdalah. We will decide on if the activities will be in person at Beth Shalom or remote, based on the government requirements closer to the date. We might even do small group gatherings.
We will keep you posted but we feel it is crucial for our community to celebrate and learn together as much as circumstances will allow. Shabbaton Committee
