The Camarillo United Methodist Church will present two programs about Islam in October.
A class on "The Religion of Islam" will be at 7 p.m. Mon., Oct. 16 and 23 in Howald Parlor at the church. The instructor is Bill Garlington, director of adult ministries at the church. The class is open to the public free of charge.
Class topics will include the historical origins of Islam, essential beliefs and teachings of Islam, differences between Sunni and Shi'ih Islam, and Islam and modernity.
The church will host a special conference open to the public on "Building Bridges" from 6 to 9:30 p.m. in Brooks Hall at the church on Mon., Oct. 30. The cost is $10, which includes a light dinner.
"The theme of the conference will be to discuss ways different religious communities can come to appreciate their commonalities in the hope of creating a more peaceful world," Garlington said.
Steve Scholl, a well-known authority on Islamic Sufism, joins Garlington as the key speakers at the conference. Following their talks, conference participants will break into small groups to discuss the ideas presented in greater depth.
Scholl received his master's degree in Islamic studies from McGill University in Canada. He is the creator of White Cloud Press in Oregon and has been active in interfaith activities in the Pacific Northwest.
Garlington received his master's degree in history from UCLA and his doctorate in Asian studies and sociology from Aus- tralian National University in Canberra. He has taught history and religious studies both in Aus- tralia and the United States.
Garlington is the author of several books, including "Universal Spiritual Thoughts" and
"The Baha'i Faith in America." He teaches classes at the Osher Institute at California State Uni- versity at Channel Islands.
