Navigating Interfaith Relations in the Midst of Global Conflict

Wednesday, April 10, 2024, 11:30am-12:30pm Eastern

Over the past few months since the escalation of violence in the Middle East, we have seen a rise in both anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim rhetoric and actions, including here in the United States. For some congregations that have nurtured interfaith relations over the years, the crisis in the Middle East has presented a challenge: how to remain faithful to a Christian witness for justice and peace, accompanying Palestinian partners while also maintaining relationships with Jewish and Muslim neighbors locally.

Join us in this webinar to hear from two UCC local church pastors about their interfaith relationships and responses to hateful actions in their communities; and from staff of the Shoulder to Shoulder campaign, of which the UCC and Disciples are founding members, who will provide some strategies and tools to help navigate interfaith relationships in these times of increased hatred.
