We live in an age marked by contentious debate not only about politics, but also about even more fundamental commitments, such as our varied philosophical and theological approaches and even our understanding of science and the arts. Join us for what promises to be an enlightening evening with talks by Caner Dagli and Zaid Shakir, followed by an on-stage conversation, about how we can arrive at disagreement without disengagement. Watch the event live on the Renovatio website. Thanks to the ADAMS Center for generously hosting this event. All Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS Center) 46903 Sugarland Rd.
