This is my local Mosque so I am fond of it. It has a barrier in the main hall for the women with a curtained window we can open, to appease both the barrier free advocates (myself among them) and those who prefer to be completely hidden. Our space is equal to the men's section in size and decor (although they get all the books). The prayer area is accessible to people with disabilities but the downstairs is not. Downstairs houses the eating area, kitchen, bathrooms, and children's room. There is nothing prohibiting women from being on the board, although I have never seen it. I must note our community is open to those who speak up however, so now we do have a women's coordinator (a step in the right direction) and the barrier is in the main hall instead of being downstairs as some had advocated when we first moved to this location. This was accomplished by advocacy on the part of the women, in addition to the openness of the men. We have Jummah and either Magrib or Isha depending on the season in formal groups. Sometimes, a group will form for Dhur prayer but it is not guarenteed. Women have a seperate entrance and I must say it is actually nicer than the mens, which we sisters also lobbied for since it was closest to our section. I would love more relevant khutbahs to the "here and now" and some younger members are starting to give them. Overall, a fairly neutral Mosque that should be workable within any Muslim's comfort level. (Submitted on 2006-07-25)
