interfaith bridge building
Interfaith Intersections brings people together to hold intentional conversations on a variety of topics related to faith.
On November 9, we held an Interfaith Intersections event at Mt. Zion Baptist Church. Panelists from the Jewish, Buddhist, and American Baptist traditions reflected on their understandings of what their faith traditions teach about death and dying.
On October 12, we gathered at the Madison Baha'i Center. Panelists from the Jewish, Muslim, and Bahai faiths reflected on the foundational teachings of their faith traditions. We had over 35 participants in person and on Zoom, who also had the opportunity to share in small groups after the panel presentations.

Let us commit to work together to move Wisconsin Forward!In the wake of our Faith Leaders Statement and Proposed Proclamation Against Hate, Wisconsin Faith Voices for Justice has convened a coalition of clergy and people of faith to build an interfaith movement around our state. The goal is to foster trust, build relationships, and create a strong interfaith community that will support and assist each other in the challenging times ahead. We are calling this movement Faith Leaders Building Community, Standing Together.
This is a critical moment in our nation’s history. Many of our communities are experiencing a palpable fear of what the present political climate will mean for them. But this is also a time of opportunity. People are galvanized to action as never before. Now, more than ever, we must join together to fight against hate, to resist attacks on our communities, and to stand united in trust and love.

sacred site visits |
The Sacred Site Visits provide opportunities for participants to visit houses of worship from a wide variety of faith traditions over the course of the year. The purpose of the “visits” is to learn about different faiths, and to build interfaith friendships.
Visits may include observing a worship service, hearing a talk by a faith leader about their tradition with time for Q&A, or a virtual tour of their house of worship, or any combination of these activities. With these virtual visits, you can be anywhere in Wisconsin and still able to visit faith communities anywhere! |
