Tag: Interfaith Dialogue

12pm PT, 2pm CST, 3pm ET, and 9pm CET

As tensions continue to escalate around the globe in response to the war in Gaza, Antisemitic and Islamophobic incidents have reached alarmingly high rates in North America (with the Anti-Defamation League and the Council on American-Islamic Relations reporting an increase of 200-300% since October 7th). As an interfaith community, this reality calls us to reflect upon how we can remain in relationship with one another, and maintain recognition of our common humanity, even when it feels like our lives are under attack. We invite you to join us in an honest and open dialogue which considers how the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic faiths might guide us towards a path of reconciliation in our relationships with one another and the way we interact in the world.

The events in and around Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville, TX in January 2022 could have been another story about the prejudice and deep division in our society – instead, out of the trauma and fear emerged a story of a community united. A foundational lesson that calls to us from that recent – and further off – history: how do we build supportive, resilient, and diverse communities? Join religious leaders from Dallas, TX who disagree on fundamental and consequential things yet have been investing in mutually inspiring relationships for years. In the face of the Beth Israel synagogue hostage crisis in January 2022 those relationships helped a hurting community confront prejudice and division. Come away inspired, with tools to start or deepen your own relationships across diverse communities and with new connections to a growing global network.

This conversation, moderated by IFYC, will include Dimitry Anselme from Facing History and Ourselves, Rev. Dr. Bob Roberts, Jr., Adena Cytron-Walker, and Imam Dr. Omar Suleiman.
