San Francisco Retreat
Imagine a group of teenage boys, close friends, living in this world filled with temptations and distractions.
Now imagine them organizing a guys trip to San Francisco to roam the city and hang out on the beaches, but instead of succumbing to any worldly desires, they spend the day praying together, discussing issues of greater social significance, reflecting on the beauty of creation, and speaking about God’s role in their lives. Imagine that when the day came to an end, they made a commitment to each other that they would always pull each other towards goodness and protect each other from evil. Would you still call them teenage boys, or would you now refer to them as young men of the Nizami Order?
