ETJC In the News: The Walrus, “Mosque Makeovers”

In 2011, our mosque was covered for a story written by Matt Mossman on reimagining sacred spaces, “Mosque Makeovers,” in Canada’s esteemed journal, “The Walrus.”

“El-Tawhid has been meeting for about two years now, in a small room covered by a carpet, with an old church pew at one end. People plunk themselves down on cushions wherever there is space; the question of whether to have greater interaction with the wider Muslim community is more important right now than where people sit at prayer time. On this winter afternoon, the room fills up with about twenty people, a mix of born Muslims and converts, academics, and refugees from Muslim countries.”
