On the day before his first engagement in Michigan, the nonprofit group controlled by the developer of the Islamic center said it supported Rauf's work but needed someone who could spend more time on the nitty-gritty task of building a congregation.
The organization, Park51, said Friday that it had chosen Shaykh Abdallah Adhami, a 44-year-old scholar and architect, as a new senior adviser to lead religious programming in Rauf's absence.
It is unclear whether Rauf's reduced role in the center will help or hurt its chances of getting built.
