Christians Open Church To Muslims, Allow Them To Pray Inside. by Numero9: 11:17pm On May 24, 2020
A church in Germany yesterday opened the doors of its church to Muslims to have their ritual Friday prayers.

Due to guidelines on social distancing, people going to religious venues in Germany for worship must maintain at least 1.5m distance from each other.



In following this rule, the general mosque where Muslims in Berlin usually worship could only accept 50 persons, making it difficult for most persons to offer their prayers ahead of the Ramadan.

So the Martha Lutheran church in Berlin decided to allow those stranded to make use of the church building for their prayers, a scenario which is very rare.





The Pastor of the church also surprisingly joined the Muslims in their Arabic prayers and later gave a speech in German.

"I gave a speech in German," she said. "And during prayer, I could only say yes, yes, yes, because we have the same concerns and we want to learn from you. And it is beautiful to feel that way about each other."

Some Muslims who took part in the prayer session also had a few thoughts of theirs.

One of the worshippers said it felt strange praying with musical instruments, pictures, and images all around, which is a big contrast of the mosque.



This certainly is a good gesture of togetherness. At least it is a positive brought by the coronavirus.

With such an occurrence, both Christians and Muslims can show and exhibit love which is the core foundation and importance of human existence.

Despite the religion differences both parties will definitely learn to accept each other, shunning religious issues and violence.

Question: What do you make of such gesture?

As a Muslim can you feel comfortable praying in a church?

As a Christian can you do the same, pray in a mosque?
