The Muslim chaplain at Georgetown University is the keynote speaker at a "Muslims in America" forum Wednesday evening at the WITF Public Media Center in Harrisburg.
Billed as an "interfaith discussion of challenges facing Muslims in America," Imam Yahya Hendi will be joined by panelists Samia Malik of the Central PA Chapter of Council of American-Islamic Relations, Bishop Nathan Baxter of the Episcopal Diocese of Central Pennsylvania, Homer C. Floyd of the state Human Relations Commission and Rabbi Nancy Fuchs-Kreimer, the director of religious studies at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College near Philadelphia.
Doors open at 5:45 p.m., and the event starts at 6:30 p.m.
Georgetown was the first U.S. university to hire a full-time Muslim chaplain. Hendi is also the imam of the Islamic Society of Frederick, Frederick, Md., and the Muslim chaplain at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Md.
