Interfaith CincinnatiJoin us for an inspiring online event exploring the relationship between faith and science through the lens of Islamic thought. Kashif Naser will guide us through the rich tradition of inquiry, reason, and spiritual reflection within Islam, highlighting how scientific discovery and religious belief are not at odds, but deeply interconnected. We will also learn briefly about the holiday of Eid al-Adha.
Whether you’re a person of faith, a science enthusiast, or simply curious, this is a space for open conversation, learning, and connection. This program is part of Arizona Faith Network series: Faith 101.

The Ohio Legislature is overhauling state energy policy with two goals: increasing the supply and reliability of electricity and trying to keep it affordable. Electrical engineer Brent Boyd, one of Ohio’s leading solar entrepreneurs, will alert us to influential supporters of renewable energy. He will outline the “green + green” case that green energy solutions reduce operating expenses as well as protecting the environment. This is the first forum in Faith Communities Go Green’s 2025 series on broadening our advocacy beyond legislators.
Save the date! Multifaith Pride will be held June 20th at 7pm at a house of worship in Cincinnati. The location will be determined soon.
Following the celebration, there will be an appetizer reception.

After several days of sheltering in place with my immediate family, I returned to my Ohio home. At once, I I was greeted by two old friends who were waiting for me at my place. They were not human beings. Instead, they were piles of dust, behind two doors.
So, as I looked at the piles of dust, trying to decide which one I would attend to first, I imagined one of them saying to the other in an enthusiastic tone, “I have decided that I am better than you. This means , I am worth more than you, and I am more important than you.” So then, I imagined the other pile of dust being startled and issuing a rather stern rebuke: “Say what? Aren’t we both just piles of dust? How are you any better than me?”
During this historic time of overwhelming uncertainty and worldwide crisis, we will continue the momentum of our community’s interfaith collaboration through a series of short webinars, called “Turning to Faith.” At a time when we cannot be together physically, each half-hour “zoomette” will feature faith leaders’ spiritual sharing, prayer and interactive conversation while answering “chat” questions from the Zoom audience.
