Dear Editor:
There was a slight jolt felt on Norgate's 15th Street when the old St. Richard's Anglican church building was sold to a North Shore Muslim group. Well, the pulpit came down, the mini-minaret went up after some rebuilding and life went on as usual.
There was a surprise the other day when a small bag of candy showed up on our doorstep.
A little note was addressed to "Dear neighbour," it said, this was the end of Ramadan, a special month of the Islamic calendar when Muslims are obligated to share their blessings and make contributions to the community, and to share their joy with those around them.
The candy was a token gift. Thank you, Masjid Ar-Rahman mosque.
It won't be forgotten.
