The first review saddens me. I would like to apologize to the brother. You are justified. I am…read morepersonally very sorry. Please inbox me and I can direct you to Muslims who can help. My dad sits over the board at the Tuscaloosa mosque. He taught me to never question a person in need. The reward is always given to the person who gives so there should have never been any questions. In addition, if he is talking about the school in Homewood IAA, he is right. I worked there for a year and it was truly awful in every way. It is an Arab cultural school and not an Islamic school. BIS should really purge the staff especially the principal and vice principal. Working there was the biggest mistake of my life. I was treated so disrespectfully there from everyone including staff and students. My dad forced me to quit because I was so depressed at how chaotic and undisciplined they are there. But this was in 2014-2015, almost 10 years ago. The people and students at IAA are very judgmental, racist, arrogant and rude. They are backwards to an uncanny degree. Super materialistic and obsessed with fancy cars, physical appearances and designer labels as well. Poor permissive parenting at its finest. Lots of unchecked behavior issues. But I learned a lot there. I don't recommend any Muslim family send their children to IAA. And for the love of Allah, never accept a job there. You will be underpaid and asked to teach multiple grade levels and you will cry every day like I did. You will be made to feel like a bad Muslim. You will be judged by every word and they will never take accountability for their mishandlings or for being wrong. Everything will be your fault. Truly the worst examples of Muslims I've ever encountered. Avoid. This is not geebah on my brothers and sisters or backbiting as we are allowed to discuss matters of business. Do not do business with IAA. But the weekend school and community at Hoover Crescent are decent. Hoover is constantly shifting. It is not stationary like the school in Homewood. My nephews attend the weekend school and it is very diverse. Most mosques change leadership every few years. This term's leaders have really focused on the youth. Although, I wish they had more programs for elder millennials like myself. The location is great. Parking is ample. Ramadan is mostly organized and the volunteers and staff are incredibly hard working and devoted at Hoover Crescent. Ramadan dinner is free and open to the public if anyone is interested in Islam. Don't judge the rest of us by the mess of IAA, the "Islamic" school in Homewood. Most of us are non affiliated with that place. Salam

I grew up there because it was a compromise between my Catholic mother and Presbyterian father. Worked out well for me. If you are a lawyer who practices downtown, you should probably become a member - for some reason, ex-lawyers seem to be half of the Episcopal priesthood. But it makes them good speakers, which makes sermons worthwhile. The Church has been very good to my family, when my kids were born, when my mother died, and now that my father is homebound. They are a good group of folks, and I really appreciate them. The Church is also associated with the Advent Episcopal School for 4K-8th grade, which is where my kids go. See that separate review, but it's a great school.

We were enjoying the churches and buildings and looking for a park that I wanted to see and I found this amazing church. I just fell in love with it. It is very large and takes up an entire city block. I loved this church.. History I found out about it on the internet: he Cathedral Church of the Advent in Birmingham, Alabama, is the mother church of the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama. On March 30, 1983, the structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places as the Episcopal Church of the Advent The parish church of the Advent was established in 1872, one year after the founding of the city of Birmingham, and was one of the first churches built in the new city. The first building on this site was completed in 1873, but was soon destroyed by fire. The current structure, was occupied in 1883 with the tower and portico undergoing construction until 1885. The Cathedral is known for its historical location on Twentieth Street near Linn Park, as well as for the reputation of its music program. It was not until 1982, that the Church of the Advent became a cathedral, when the Diocese of Alabama selected the church as its seat The congregation undertook a major project to preserve the sandstone exterior of the Cathedral between 1999 and 2005. During this same period the Rector's Garden was redesigned to improve drainage and accommodate a columbarium and the belltower was refitted for a carillon of fifteen bells, cast by Fonderie Paccard of Lac d'Annecy, France. In both 2005 and 2012, readers of the Birmingham News named the cathedral choir "Best Church Choir". Today, the Church of the Advent comprises nearly 4000 members, making it one of the ten largest Episcopal churches in the United States.[2] The current Dean of the Cathedral is the Very Reverend Andrew C. Pearson, Jr.[3] The Cathedral campus is also home to the Advent Episcopal Day Schoo

Every service was closed by singing the Old Irish Blessing (May the Road Rise to Meet You), which was one of the most touching moments of the service.

My husband and I jokingly call this an Episcopal-style Baptist church: they follow the lectionary, wear traditional robes and think. The old pastor, Jim Evans, used to write a column for the Birmingham Post Herald (before it went under and he went to Auburn) and has since been replaced since we moved away from the area.
