You
have the
desire to commit yourself to a progressive, universally
inclusive Islam, adapted to our modern socio-politic
reality,
and based
on
humanistic values?
This year the participants of the FIP (Progressive
Islamic Training) are from a dozen different countries. Our
meetings ("halaqat" in French, English and Arabic) took place on Skype,
but also, three times a year, at the CALEM Institute (Marseille, France). Our last training weekend
(22nd - 25th December), in
collaboration with the prayers of the Communion
Béthanie, was a great source of peace for all of us alhamdouliAllah, at monastry of la Paix-Dieu:

Our latest publication (200 p.):
"Travesti
et porteur d'une déficience visuelle, j'ai
décidé de vouer ma vie à la recherche.
L'affirmation de mon instabilité est aussi
conditionnée par une autre déficience visuelle :
un nystagmus congénital. Mais plus encore, c'est la
découverte d'une sœur de trois ans mon
aînée, née d'une mère
orpheline pupille de l'Etat, qui fut traumatique et inspiratrice d'une
incarnation féminine. C'est ainsi la quête du
visage et du corps de la sœur qui s'est engagée.
J'avais vingt-et-un an lors de cette découverte. Encore
combien de temps peut vivre ce désir ? Je ne puis dire. Je
suis ainsi condamné à la quête
perpétuelle d'identité".Christophe Gerbaud,
philosophe et sociologue, est né le 5 juin 1979 à
Montauban. Abandonné, il est adopté à
six mois. Handicapé visuel, il a une enfance calme.
Adolescence trés mélancolique, il travaille ses
premiers écrits à 18 ans. A 21 ans, il apprend
qu'il a une sœur et l'existence de sa mère
biologique. Dès lors, il commence à se travestir".
