Hafsah of the Sufi Tradition.

Through the years there have beenmany additions to the Prayer Vigil. Most strikingly is how the callgoes out to the universal energy bringing in traditions whose presenceis reflected by the needs of the time. Hafsah heard this call when sheattended a Prayer Vigil for the Earth, saying to Rabiah al Nur, "TheSufi presence must be here, it is imperative." She brought anotherSufi, Lukman, to the Prayer vigil the next year, who felt as she did.They felt that healing among the many faiths can be accomplished. Oneway of doing this was to break bread with representatives from otherfaiths, such as with Rabbi David Schneyer and the other traditions. Shethen invited Shaykh Abdul Kareem and his tarika whose prayers, musicand fellowship have enriched the Vigil in their offerings.
