An Australian Muslim was surprised by the hospitality of members of the LDS Church when, during a tour of their building, they gave them a separate, private room to perform their evening prayers.

An Australian man's Facebook post about his experience in a Mormon church is going viral.

A member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints invited a group of local Muslims to a Brisbane ward for their annual Christmas program and a tour of the church, said Ali Kadri, spokesperson for the Islamic Council of Queensland.

"They displayed amazing manners in taking the multi-faith groups on a tour of the church," wrote Kadri in his Facebook post. He said his group attended the event representing Holland Park Mosque, which is 108 years old.
