Downtown Luncheon Series

Eboo Patel

Acts of Faith:
Interfaith Leadership in a
Time of Religious Crisis

Eboo Patel will discuss how interfaith leadership is crucial in this current time of religious turmoil through presenting readings and stories from his book, Acts of Faith: The Story of an American Muslim, the Struggle for the Soul of a Generation.

Millions of religious young people across the world are interacting with greater frequency. That interaction tends either toward conflict or cooperation. Where so many of these interactions tend towards conflict, the Interfaith Youth Core (IFYC) aims to introduce a new relationship, one that is about mutual respect and religious pluralism. Instead of focusing the dialogue on political or theological differences, IFYC builds relationships on the values that we share and is creating these relationships across the world by inspiring, networking and resourcing young people, who are the leaders of this movement. IFYC provides young people and the institutions that support them with leadership training, project resources and a connection to the broader movement.
