The
Dialogue Project's interfaith events are held annually, bringing
together clergy leaders, regular "people in the pews,"
and many interested
others to dialogue. Each year we choose topics that promote
provocative, thoughtful and deep conversations.

Over 150 people gathered at the 8th Annual Interfaith Teach In on Compassion and Action to learn from an amazing array of teachers- Muslims, Jews, Buddhists and others sat at round tables with people of a faith or culture different than their own . Together we created dialogues around domestic violence, the environment, healing veterans returning from war, and bereavement and terminal illness.

The Dialogue Project’s 7th Annual Interfaith
Teach In! convened on Sunday, Nov. 16th at 1:30 PM at Plymouth Church
of the Pilgrims in Brooklyn Heights. The event drew clergy and lay
people from around the city who shared food, talk and curiosity
about each other’s faith, traditions and cultures. This year
the topic was “The Family of Humankind – How our texts,
histories and traditions understand Anti-Semitism, Islamophobia,
and Racism.”
This year, we had three keynote speakers from the Abrahamic faiths
who provided the context for this year subject: Imam Khaled Latif
from the Islamic Center at NYU, Rev. David Fisher from Plymouth
Church of the Pilgrims and Rabbi Justus Baird from the Center for
Multi-Faith Education at Auburn Theological Seminary. Following
the keynotes, there were clergy and teacher-led table dialogues
that enabled participants to discuss the topic through the prism
of a selection of short texts.
