Sheikh Jamal Rahman
Jamal Rahman has an abiding faith in the power of heart-to-heart connections to encompass differences and dissolve prejudices. He enjoys programs that celebrate life and unity through delight, laughter and food.
Sheikh Jamal is a Muslim Sufi whose passion lies in interfaith community building. While remaining rooted in his Islamic tradition, he cultivates "spaciousness" by being open to the beauty and wisdom of other faiths. This spaciousness is not about conversion but about completion. Through an authentic and appreciative understanding of other paths, Brother Jamal feels that he is becoming a better Muslim.
Co-minister at Interfaith Community Church, he is Director of Sacred Psychology School, and adjunct faculty at Seattle University. He travels often, co-facilitating workshops and retreats locally, nationally, and internationally.
In addition to his new book with his fellow Amigos, he is co-author of Out of Darkness, Into Light: Spiritual Guidance in the Quran with Reflections from Jewish and Christian Sources and author of The Fragrance of Faith - The Enlightened Heart of Islam.
