Dutch Town Sounds Call to Prayer

25 August 2011

 

The Dutch town of Doetinchem sounded a call to prayer on September 4 as a part of an inter-religious service during a local festival. The call joins the ringing of church bells and precedes a service led by Muslim, Catholic and Protestant leaders. Event organizer Joop Sars notes that festival organizers wanted to demonstrate that the town is a tolerant space where diverse communities live and confirm their faiths side by side.
