The Rev. Craig Moro lives in Salem and has been a frequent visitor
to our fellowship for the past seven years.
He is a graduate of the University of Chicago and Starr King School for
the Ministry in Berkeley, California. He has studied music, language, and religious expression in India, Singapore, and Thailand.
Rev. Moro developed an abiding interest in Islam during the worldwide controversy over the publication of Salman Rushdie's
novel, The Satanic Verses. This led him to an intensive study of Arabic and the core texts of Islam. He
has taught courses on Islam at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley and Illinois Wesleyan University, as well as at
several churches in California, Illinois, and the Pacific Northwest.
Craig recently spent four months in the city of
Leiden in the Netherlands, a center for the study of Islam in the West. He is currently studying Biblical Hebrew at
Willamette University.
