Description
The MEVLEVI (Followers of Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi) or Whirling Dervishes, are still alive and well in Turkey. Their spellbinding worship service, the MEVLEVI SEMA, has dervishes in long white dresses whirling ecstatically for a quarter hour at a time to the drone of ancient Islamic hymns. The MEVLEVI have always been ecumenical in outlook, welcoming non-Muslims to the SEMA in the belief that all people are equal in the sight of God.
