WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – The City of Wilmington has given the green light on permits to build a new mosque in the area.

The mosque will be built off of Sunn Aire Court and Princess Place Drive and will be the start of something new for the local Muslim community.

The holy building will be the first of its kind in the area, featuring an arched dome to give it a more Islamic feel.

Ronald Sparks of Sparks Engineering PLLC is heading up the project. He says a portion of the building is slanted toward Mecca, so when you look at the building it will be like an L shape.

Some people who live by are excited to see the finished product and the diverse culture it will bring. Others, however, have raised concerns over traffic and parking.

Regardless, the mosque will be built and city leaders hope it will open new doors to the community.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - The Temple of Israel is opening its doors to people of all faiths Friday night. Leaders at the Temple are hosting an "invite your neighbor" service at 8 p.m.

Rabbi Paul Sidlofsky is encouraging the community to come and experience a Sabbath service to learn more about Judaism.

He said Friday night's event is part of the church's open-door policy and he thinks it will be a great way for folks to get to know their Jewish neighbors.

"We also want to make sure as a minority, in Wilmington and in the world, that people are aware of who we are and what we do," Sidlofsky said. "I find the best way to form good relations is with trust, communication and education."

Sidlofsky hopes it's a learning experience for those of other religions.
