Women's Community In Philadelphia?

[latifah]

Hello. I am new to this board. I have been reading a lot about Islam and feel that this religion is in line with my own beliefs. I am a non-practicing Catholic, Christian raised, but no longer share their basic common beliefs. I have been looking for a community to share my faith with in the Philadelphia area. Does anyone know of where I can go to do this?


Mosques are quite different than churches. It was easier to explore a Christian faith by walking into a church and sitting anonymously in any pew to hear that days sermon/homily, etc. Things are very different in Islam. I'm intimidated to pray in at Mosque without having a woman to go along with, at least the for the first time.


I'd also like to find a community where I can learn more about Islam and feel part of- like family.


Any suggestions?
