Metro East Interfaith Partnership

Metro East Interfaith Partnership Founded in 2002 by people of faith, the Metro-East Interfaith Partnership unites diverse religious traditions in the St. Louis metro-east area. Louis.

We build bridges of trust and foster understanding among our neighbors. After 9/11 a Catholic woman slipped a note under the door of the local Belleville-Swansea mosque stating her concern for the misconceptions being spread about Islam. That note opened the door in order for dialogue to begin building bridges of trust in our metro-east local communities on the Illinois side of the river near St.

The Metro-East Interfaith Partnership began in 2002 in response to the mistrust that increased between faith traditions after the tragedy of September 11, 2001. Several people felt called to begin building bridges of trust within our local community of Belleville, IL and the surrounding area. We continue to gather to learn about our various faith traditions, respect our differences, and celebrate our common faith perspectives. We work cooperatively with the Interfaith Partnership of St. Louis, and others, striving to network with other local interfaith communities. We are a non-profit network, run by volunteers, both laity and religious leaders, who have a passion for interfaith relations. Current participation in the Metro-east includes Bahá'í, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Hindu and Religious Science members. We invite other faith traditions to join with us in conversation. We invite you to join us.

September is Su***de Prevention Month and we are not going to shy away from the hard conversation. 💜 Survivors of child sexual abuse are 4x more likely to experience suicidal ideation. That statistic is not meant to scare you. It is meant to move you to action.

Unaddressed trauma does not just go away. It shows up in our mental health, our relationships, and our sense of self worth. Early intervention and access to the right support changes outcomes and saves lives.

If you or someone you know is struggling, you do not have to figure it out alone. Call or text 988 to reach the Su***de and Crisis Lifeline anytime, 24 hours a day.

And if a child in your life needs support, we are here. 🔗 kerengendefoundation.org
