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 information call (516) 626-0414 or visit our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/brookvillechurch
