Prayer room designed in spirit of ‘interfaith education’

The prayer room, developed by a senior of St. Ambrose University in collaboration with its Saudi Student Association, is designed “specifically for students of the Islamic faith,” according to a report on local NPR station WVIK.

Matt Mahoney, the St. Ambrose senior who helped design the room, called the prayer space “outstanding.”

How about a sex segregated bathroom space for the rest of us?
This relationship isn’t going to go or end well, for the Catholic University.
Scripture warns against fellowship between light and dark.
You already have a “boys and girls” restroom...use that.
