Join Us for the Launch of “Interfaith Work and Interfaith Families: A Toolkit”
Thursday 14 November 16.00 – 16.45
Please join us for the Zoom launch of “Interfaith Work and Interfaith Families: A Toolkit.”
This will be an opportunity to bring together interfaith organisations, interfaith families, multiple religious practitioners, and academics working in this field. The goal is to provide tools, and connections, to work more closely together in the future.
This project grew out of personal experience. Both of the authors have built professions inspired by our interfaith families and identities. Susan covers interfaith families as a journalist and author. Dalia is an academic, studying interfaith families in her PhD research.
We created the Toolkit with these goals:
- To share what we have learned through full-time relationships across religious boundaries in our families–and/or through embodying more than one set of religious practices or ancestries.
- To provide interfaith organisations with tools and encouragement to engage with interfaith families & practitioners, and highlight successful examples of this engagement.
- To begin a conversation on how interfaith family members, interfaith organisations, and interfaith academic researchers can benefit from working together more closely.
