Wadud will lead the prayer. She will be hailed by her usual supporters, and condemned by her usual critics; lauded by those who are on an ideological cloud of optimism, and heckled by those who are enraged by her perceived apostasy.

For the rest of us, it will be a chance to read and write about something different, but it will never be anything more.
