Event Description: The theme for the interactive event is “Sacred Hospitality: A Tool for Peace,” beginning with a prayer by a representative of each faith, a panel discussion, as well as breakout sessions from multiple faith traditions. The summit is designed to start building a common ground between different religious traditions, in order to evoke commonalities and to begin a dialogue that moves various religions toward an honest understanding of their differences.

Jenan Mohajir, the international programs coordinator of the Interfaith Youth Core, will deliver a keynote address titled, “Sacred Stories: Interfaith Leaders in a Religiously Diverse World,” in which she will discuss what defines the interactions of people from different religions and how interfaith leadership has shaped the history of the world.
