Thinking Anew: Muslim Chaplain Bridging the Gap
By Faraz Khan
cont. from last post
Conclusion:
I believe that as Muslim community learns more about chaplaincy, they will appreciate their effort and strive to build bridges between local Imams and chaplains.
If universities and colleges can hire personnel to minister and counsel Muslim American youth, the mosques can also develop a rapport with the disfranchised youth by hiring local youth leaders. I believe chaplaincy offers a strong model for the Muslim community and therefore it should be pursued by the local Islamic centers and mosques.
In conclusion, there is much we could learn from these young chaplains as they are experts who actively engage in the betterment of campus and community life.
