Greetings, readers!
Ramadan and Lent both started this week. You may be on a few mailing lists for content related to either, or both; I know my inbox is overflowing. Here are a few items that may interest you.
- Worldviews coincide: What happens when Lent and Ramadan overlap? (Mission Network News)
- Read Ramadan and Lent: Nine Points to Consider, on ways Ramadan observances reflect early church teachings on Lent (Zwemer Center for Muslim Studies).
- Understanding Your Muslim Neighbor: Ramadan has great suggestions for meaningful engagement during this season (Lausanne Movement).
- What do Muslims get from Ramadan? lists five things Muslims hope to gain through this observance and links to a downloadable one-page prayer guide (Shane Bennett).
Read on for stories from around the world about divine intervention and ongoing conflicts. May they equip and inspire you to pray.
Grace and peace,
Marti
