Salaam! Greetings of peace! My name is Fran, I live in Canada, and I am the founder and coordinator of a progressive, gender equal, and 2SLGBTIQ+ affirming Mosque. I am deeply grateful to have found Alistair's Mindsprings website during my search to learn more about Buddhism. As a Muslim, it is fascinating to discover how Buddhism can resonate with my understanding of Islam. I am the mother of a wonderful son living in London, England. It's lovely to say hello to all of you, and I wish you great peace! xx
