"Because they saved me from myself, they rescued me from my loneliness. They were the first to accept me for who I am. They're my friends."  -Naruto Uzumaki

"One day I'd like to become something precious to others." -Gaara

Led by Imam Farhan Siddiqi, join us for this special event where we will use the hit anime and manga NARUTO as a case study in discussing the nature of human relationships and how they should bring us closer to God.

Comprised of a lecture, Q&A, and discussion questions, we will look the relationships between friends, family, enemies and students and teachers, the various rights and responsibilities these relationships hold, and what their roles are in bringing us closer to God.

This event is open to all attendees ages 16+.  All are welcome whether you are a fan of anime or simply interested in the topic.  Familiarity with Naruto is recommended but not necessary as this talk may contain heavy spoilers for the series.
