Committee for Interfaith Understanding

COMMITTEE FOR INTERFAITH UNDERSTANDING

The Committee for Interfaith Understanding (CIU) – a program of the Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee – is Southeastern Wisconsin’s largest and oldest inter-religious program conducting educational programs and bringing people together from a wide array of faith traditions to build understanding and friendship.

Our Mission Statement: 

 

Our mission is to bring people together in the spirit of friendship, curiosity, and solidarity. We provide educational opportunities leading to mutual understanding, offer support during challenging times, and publicly model dialogue as a witness of our faiths.

 

Representatives of various religious traditions meet as a committee to dialogue, plan events and discuss issues. These include Baha’i, Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Islamic, Islamic Sufi, Jewish, Sikh and other traditions.

The committee and its members also serve as resources to many congregations and organizations seeking information about various faith traditions.

From fun Food and Faith events to deep dialogue we create meanigful programs to encourage underastanding between faiths.

Here is a Webinar in which 10 of our Faith representatives answer how they welcome the stranger at this Link.
