The Parliament of the World's Religions recently wrapped up its eighth convening in its 128-year history. Interfaith events create a shared space for dialogue between religions, but what do these dialogues aim to achieve, and how effective are they? On God Forbid, James Carleton and our panel of religious leaders find out. 

Dissidents in the clergy have long played a critical role in fostering more inclusive faith spaces. Often this dissent doesn't come from a place of ill-intent – in fact, it's quite the opposite. These trailblazers are inspired by their faith to build a better world. This week on State of Belief, Interfaith Alliance’s weekly radio […]

Host Greg Anglea, CEO of Interfaith Community Services, welcomes you to the Homeless in San Diego Podcast. Joining us today is Linda.  After becoming homeless, Linda was forced to stay in hotels for months while she worked on securing housing for her partner and two kids. Linda eventually found a place, but in order to afford it, she had to secure a loan which quickly exhausted her savings and had her falling behind on rent once again. Realizing that her situation would be unsustainable, Linda reached out to Interfaith for help. Here, she was matched with a case manager who helped her secure rental assistance, enroll into a financial education course, and work on monthly budgets where she could reduce spending and save. Linda has now graduated adult school and is looking to enroll into college, where she can work towards her dream of becoming a parole officer. Linda says “I want to bring light to dark places."

In the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, vitriolic language targeting Muslims and immigrants became commonplace in public discourse. Most Americans recognize the injustice of this anti-Muslim bigotry in hindsight, though it would be naive to say that racist, Islamophobic scapegoating is a matter of the past. Amid the contentious commentary, however, were more thoughtful […]

As human beings we have unlimited potential. How do we tap into that potential knowing full well we are better at some things than others – so how can I really be unlimited?  We all want to feel special. ‘Special' comes from the outer affirmation, from acceptance.  ‘Specialized' means we live from the inside out, knowing and using our unique gifts and co-creating with others whose gifts blend with ours.    Spiritual Life Center is an Interfaith, Unity community located in Sacramento, California for spiritual seekers and life explorers.

True religious freedom means that all of us should be free to make healthcare decisions based on our own beliefs and circumstances – not the religious views of our bosses, doctors, or elected officials. But recent anti-choice legislation in Texas prevents millions of people from exercising this right. This week on State of Belief, Interfaith […]

In India, where arranged marriages are the norm, people typically marry within their religion or caste. But occasionally, some find love on their own and end up with a partner of a different faith.

Hosted by Hanadi Doleh, ICNY Director for Community Partnerships Throughout New York, clergy members, lay leaders and faith-based activists from every faith tradition are working to create positive change for our own communities and the city as a whole. But all too often we find ourselves working alone — without a strong network of interfaith ties, or knowledge of the city's civic institutions. One way leaders can gain the tools they need to make a difference is through the Interfaith Center of New York's Interfaith Civic Leadership Academy, an intensive seven-month leadership development program, about to launch its third year. In this episode of our #InterfaithMattersPodcast, host Hanadi Doleh talks with three graduates of the Interfaith Civic Leadership Academy about some of the most useful (and sometimes unexpected) aspects of the academy, and what many NYC faith-based activists can stand to gain from participating. Pictured above, left to right: Hanadi Doleh, Director for Community Partnerships at the Interfaith Center of New York Ayoka (Mayanah) Johnson, founder of Genesis 2 Ministries and Ha Nasheem Dharmachari Ananta, member of the Triratna Buddhist Order Sati Gurdial, General Secretary of the Tristate Arya Samaj _________________________________________ Calling all NYC faith leaders working to make a difference!

For so many who lived through the events of September 11, 2001, it is difficult to believe that it has been two decades. The pain of those impacted twenty years ago – and those who have suffered since in an era of heightened surveillance, white nationalism, and religious extremism – remains raw, and reminds us […]

Before the 9/11 memorial in New York City was even built, there were plans to build an Islamic community center and mosque a few blocks away. Eleven years ago, the Anti-Defamation League opposed the building of the center in that place. But this week, the ADL's National Director apologized for that stance. He talks to Axios Today about coming together to combat hate and terror. Plus, how threats to the U.S. have changed over two decades. And, COVID today, by the numbers. Guests: The Anti-Defamation League's Jonathan Greenblatt, Axios' Bryan Walsh and Mike Allen. Credits: Axios Today is produced in partnership with Pushkin Industries.

We begin this week’s episode by revisiting the origin story of Interfaith Voices. The very first pilot episode took place exactly one week after the 9/11 attacks. Then we talk with Dalia Mogahed, a hijab-wearing, Egyptian American mom having to deal with a new reality of Islamophobia.

Distinguished American Studies scholar Dr. Sylvia Chan-Malik reflecting on the 9/11 anniversary, and how the last twenty years have led to greater introspection and reflection about identity, race, gender, and ethnicity among U.S. Muslim communities.

This is a great discussion with Pastor Derwin, the founder of Transformation Church who also played football under Lavell Edwards from 1989-992. He also played in the NFL for six years.

After her Master's Degree in social work from Rutgers University, she originally began to educate families on the disease concept of alcoholism.Dr. Herrick developed a successful private practice eventually seeing all types of people with psychological problems including addictions. She wrote her book "You're Not Finished Yet" which encapsulates her private practice work plus an additional two chapters on spirituality and spiritual experiences after she had a Holy Spirit experience during Holotropic Breathwork training.During her therapeutic practice, she encourages some clients to visit with mediums to aid in handling their grief and loss of loved ones. She was ordained at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine and uses her Interfaith ministry to be actively involved in the Spiritual Psychology of William James, Carl Jung and Abraham Maslow.Dr. Herrick attended more educational sessions in California through the Spiritual Emergence Network and eventually completed a PhD at the Union Institute & University in Cincinnati, Ohio. Her thesis was entitled "Naming Spiritual Experiences". 75% of the 133 mental health professionals she researched stated that they believed further education regarding spiritual experiences, near- death experiences (NDEs) and/or after-life experiences would be beneficial to them personally and professionally.She has completed requirements for certification with the American Center for Integration of Spiritually Transformative Experiences (ACISTE). The mental health professionals she researched indicated they needed more networking opportunities. She hopes to aid in a consensus that spiritual experiences are happening, which will increase discussion and raise the percentage of the population from 30-50% of having these experiences to well over the 50% mark. In doing so, she will bring the 1880's term "Sane Hallucinations" into the world of psychology in order that people will understand that healthy people have these experiences and that they are not abnormal.http://karenherrick.comCarolyn CJ Jones is an international bestselling, multi-award-winning author, a forgiveness instructor and coach, as well as a transformational speaker.

The world watched in disbelief and concern as the last of the U.S. armed forces left Afghanistan. Two guests with ties to Afghanistan share their fears and hopes for the country.

Sher Jan Ahmadzai—an Afghan American—expresses the great fear, disappointment, and sorrow he feels as he watches from afar.

Counter-terrorism expert Abdul Basit has spent almost two decades studying the Taliban, al-Qaeda, and ISIS in Afghanistan and beyond.

In the words of Bell Hooks: We cannot dismantle a system as long as we engage in the collective denial about its impact on our lives.Protecting the vulnerable and the oppressed is a duty of ours in Islam, yet we have failed to stand firmly in the face of injustice, specifically abuse and the many forms that it comes in.In today's episode, special guest Eman Bare is choosing to courageously share her story by speaking up about the various accounts of abuse, harm and hyper sexualized rumors that have been spread about her.As a community I believe it's time that we go beyond the unfollow and block button when it comes to taking action against abusers. Why do we place the burden on the victim to share their story so publicly without the support of community leaders at times?Given the lack of accountability, we are creating loopholes for abusers to get away with what they have done which means that we are also inherently protecting these same abusers and instead dissecting and placing blame on the victim - sending a clear message that they are not safeguarded or to be believed by their community.In this conversation, we discuss how shame is used as a tool by the oppressor against victims and survivors of abuse, why it's important to publicly name abusers, the lack of accountability amongst our communities and the dangers of victim blaming.To anyone  who has ever endured such harm, may Allah protect you in the same manner that you are choosing to publicly share your story in order for others to not fall victim to these abusers. May you always be believed and supported in every capacity.Please pass on the following resources to your family and friends:1. Peaceful Families Project: focuses on preventing all types of abuse in Muslim families, specifically domestic violence.2.  HEART: provides Muslims with the resources, language and choice to nurture sexual health and confront sexual violence.3. FACE: stands for Facing Abuse in Community Environments, and they promote safer Muslim communities by holding religious and community leaders accountable for abuse.Enjoy and follow the pod on Instagram:@unsweetenedandunfilteredFollow Eman Bare on Instagram:@emanidil
