A place to pray

By Bogdan Mohora

On our visit to Istituto Tevere we met Bahar Dik, a Muslim student studying Mediterranean culture and religion in Rome. She shared a story about struggling to find a place to pray during a trip to Assisi and how a shop owner opened her doors to her. I thought Bahar’s story about praying in the back of a stranger’s store was a beautiful example of what it means to truly accept and respect one another’s religious differences in a personal and tangible way.
