"I encourage each person to make a personal commitment to engage in at least one of the trust-building social activities suggested at the dinner by the end of May.  And, I encourage each Muslim and Methodist congregation to develop a committee whose job it will be to plan such activities and recruit members of their respective congregations to participate.  Summer is a nice time to hold some of the activities.  Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of any assistance in this process. -- Amina Saeed"
