David Lillis: New Zealand’s Islamic Community - Settling-in, Successes and Challenges

Visiting a Wellington Mosque

Recently I visited a Wellington Mosque in order to observe Friday prayers. It was my second visit there; the first in December 2020. Subsequently, I held a meeting with members of the community associated with that Mosque in order to learn more of them and of the successes and challenges experienced by them in settling into New Zealand. On all three occasions I had a very pleasant time, having been made to feel very welcome by everyone.
