Pacifica Institute is heartbroken by the tragic attack at the Islamic Center of San Diego that claimed innocent lives, including a security guard who courageously acted to protect others.

Our prayers are with the entire San Diego community during this time of grief.

Here is the recap of our Iftar with Sarang Korean Church!
#RamadanUnites

[Pacifica Institute @Pacifica_Ins]

Grateful for a beautiful Iftar evening co-hosted by Sarang Korean Church & Pacifica Institute.

We shared honest dialogue, asked sincere questions, discovered similarities between Christianity & Islam, and built new friendships (even a new group chat!).

After prayer and reflections, one theme stood out: connection over conversion.

Special thanks to Pastor Daniel, Pastor Nader, and all who joined us.
