Description

What role do stories play in your faith tradition? How do they connect us to one another, and how do they guide our action in the world? We discussed these questions and more in the following conversation that took place in March 2022 on our first Interfaith Action principle of storytelling. Dr. Clark Gilpin, Professor Emeritus at the University of Chicago Divinity School, provided a reflection on storytelling, followed by group discussion on the importance of listening to and telling our stories in a way that builds community and leads to faith based action.We hope you enjoy the following conversation - thanks for listening.You can find Interfaith Action's principles on our website: https://swmichinterfaith.org/whoweareMusic is "Night Owl" from the Directionless EP by Broke For Free, licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution License.

Interfaith Action (SW Michigan Peace & Justice Collaborative) is a coalition of various faith communities who understand that we are stronger when we act together. In a public policy climate where the most vocal voices are narrow and sectarian, Interfaith Action seeks to bring justice-oriented and interfaith voices back into the conversation. The overarching purpose of Interfaith Action, woven from differing faith traditions, is the expression of Love in Action for the healing of our world. Interfaith Action’s work is done through our working groups and alongside community partners.
