Celebrating Religious Unity
We are sharing religious unity with the world! What began solely
as a protestant Dutch church 281 years ago is now a place of religious diversity.
The Muslim Reform Movement Organization, The New Synagogue of Long Island, and
The Interfaith Community of Long Island (two religions, one family: a model for
today’s Jewish/Christian families), along with Brookville Church call the same
location home. On Nov. 17, 2013 at 2:30 p.m. we will hold a Multi-faith
Thanksgiving Celebration and New Sign Dedication at our location: 2 Brookville Road,
Brookville, New York 11545. (for GPS navigation use Glen Head) Dr. Sultan Abdulhameed,
founder of the Muslim Reform Movement Organization said our celebration is unique.
Instead of speaking from their own religious tradition, three of the faith
leaders will be teaching from the other’s holy scripture. Dr. Abdulhameed said
this shows respect for the other’s faith tradition and acknowledges that there
are universal spiritual truths in all religions. Rev. Vicky Eastland, pastor at
Brookville Church said, “I want everyone to know what we are
doing over here in our little corner of the island; that we stand
for unity and peace among religions and that celebrating our diversity and
promoting unity are not mutually exclusive.” A warm welcome is extended to
people of all faiths to attend this special day of celebration. For more

Church, founded as a protestant Dutch reformed church in 1732 is now
celebrating unity with other distinct faith communities. We come from different
faith traditions, with one goal in mind, to celebrate unity!
