This class is focused on providing information about community members who practice the religion of Islam . The class covers the basic belief system and educates about commonalities and differences . It is geared toward honest discussion and ample time is provided for Q / A . It is best for community members to learn about each other by meeting face-toface . Questions often come up due to the lifestyle of Muslims . There is curiosity , but not a platform to ask and learn about each other . This class strives to close that gap .

Some of the most compelling stories from history involve journeys undertaken by people who struck out to get to a new place , to accomplish a goal , or just to see how far they could go . Anoka County has its fair share of citizens who have undertaken such journeys . In this program , we share the stories of three of them : a French Catholic priest who came to a new land and lived through some harrowing events ; a Civil War soldier who roamed far afield but was able to come home ; and a young man determined to see how far he could get in a home-made kayak . What journeys have you taken in your life ? How have you ( or would you ) capture that story ?
