Hurricane Rita created a divine opportunity for a local mosque and a Baptist church to put the religious edict of love your neighbor into practice this weekend.
When the Islamic Center of Waco started to run out of room for Muslim evacuees from the Texas Coast who needed refuge from the storm, mosque president Al Siddiq called his neighbor, the church next door, for help.
Deacon Norman Gowens of Waco's Primitive Baptist Church said Siddiq reported he was being overrun with evacuees and needed room to spread out.
