Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee

Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee The 22 members of Interfaith Conference are committed to regular dialogue within it's leadership committee.

They also foster programs to increase interfaith understanding, advocacy and social justice issues. The Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee is a non-profit agency through which the regional leaders and adherents of 22 member denominations and faiths dialogue to build relationships, do public education to foster understanding and tolerance, and work together on critical social issues to impr

ove the quality of life for everyone. Nonmember faiths also participate in many of our programs and activities. Our efforts are directed by a Cabinet of representatives from our member judicatories (regional administrative bodies, such as a diocese or synod), which together have more than 500 congregations in the Milwaukee area. The Interfaith Conference provides opportunities for people with different religious and cultural backgrounds to create a better society by dialoguing, building relationships and working together. This collaboration does not mean that people from different faith traditions must water-down their beliefs or otherwise compromise who they are as people of faith. Everyone is invited to fully represent who they are and what they believe. And through such sharing, many are both broadened in their understanding of others and strengthened in their own beliefs. Since our founding in 1970, the Interfaith Conference has issued moral statements and taken actions that have had an impact on such issues as poverty, hunger, homelessness, racism, health care, interfaith dialogue, education, global peace, international development, employment, crime, the criminal justice system, the environment, alcohol & drugs, and the graying of our society as generations age. Non-member faith groups also join in many of these efforts.

Dear friends,

Today marks the 25th anniversary of 9/11, an event that for many members of my generation marked a turning point in our lives. On that day, almost 3,000 lives were taken by 19 murderers, who hijacked the name of my religion. Like many American Muslim leaders, I felt the call to engage in intensive interfaith dialogue.

The day after 9/11 the Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee invited me to speak at Central Methodist Church. A year later the Interfaith Conference invited the Islamic Society of Milwaukee to join as a full Cabinet member. Since then, the Interfaith Conference has continued to expand its membership to the point where it has now doubled the number of faith communities who are full members (judicatories).

Our mission is to build relationships among people of faith to promote greater understanding, dignity, and respect, and to advocate for the including and acceptance of all. Two days ago, our Executive Committee held a program, The United States of America at 250: An Interfaith Discussion, in which leaders of ten of our faith traditions spoke about the challenges that we face in this country. I encourage you to watch that program, which you can find here on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/DdCyy_Cls1A?si=k6u_mez7yrLPX4aV

Finally, I ask you to renew your efforts to make our society a more just society. To paraphrase the words of another great American leader who was commemorating the fallen at the opening of a cemetery in 1863, we are engaged in a great struggle to see whether a nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal, can long endure; let us highly resolve that we shall continue our unfinished work and be dedicated to the task remaining before us to create a strong, peaceful, and sustainable community where all are treated with justice, mutual respect, and dignity.
