On April 6-7, 2019, the Center for Religion and Global Citizenry, in partnership with the Interfaith Youth Core (IFYC) will host ‘The Intersections of Interfaith,’ an interfaith conference that highlights intersectionality— the interconnectedness of our religious, spiritual, or atheist identities with our social identities. Through a series of workshops, panels, and speakers, conference participants will learn the tools of interfaith leadership and explore the way identity shapes and complicates interfaith dialogue and activism. Because interfaith dialogue brings our identities into close contact with the identities of others, thinking intersectionally is crucial.
