Theologies of Transformation and Actions for Justice: Session 1

What is the role of faith in action? How can communities of faith, inspired by our own traditions, work together towards common goals?

This podcast was part of a monthly series exploring the Interfaith principles that guide our life and work. Our faith-based commitments around the ideals of the common good, common home, and common life will center our conversations. These monthly discussions will include a variety of panelists across faith traditions, inviting people of faith across SW Michigan (and beyond!) to a time of listening and contemplation as we consider the role of faith in action.

The first conversation of this series was facilitated Co-Director of Faith Relationships and Strategy, Sid Mohn, who was joined by three panelists - Dr. Mahan Mirza - the Executive Director of the Ansari Institute for Global Engagement with Religion; Rabbi Karen Companez of Temple Beth-El in South Bend; and Dr. Malinda Elizabeth Berry - Associate Professor of Theology and Ethics at Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary in Elkhart. During this discussion, we asked our panelists to review Interfaith Action’s 10 Interfaith principles - you can find these principles in the description of this podcast or on our website: https://swmichinterfaith.org/whoweare
