Muslim, Jewish and Christian Traditions: Building Interfaith Understanding November 5, 2006

Amidst the current political, social, and spiritual climate, faithful advocates can convene and share thoughts and concerns about how best to unite faith communities to improve the state of our commonwealth.

The Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy presents:
Muslim, Jewish and Christian Traditions:

Building Interfaith Understanding Through Community Involvement

Our three panelists will share from their various theological backgrounds and speak of their shared values, especially in the areas of concern for the poor and vulnerable. They will focus on the positive consequences for collaboration in the areas of domestic and local social concerns, especially in the areas of local advocacy, e.g. homeless and affordable housing.

Panelists Include:

-- Debra Gold Linick, Assistant Director for Northern Virginia, Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington
-- M. Imad Damaj, Ph.D., President & Social Programs Coordinator of the Virginia Muslim Coalition for Public Affairs
-- Rev. Gerry Creedon, Pastor, St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church and Chair of the Peace & Justice Commission of the Catholic Diocese of Arlington

All three panelists represent their faith traditions on the Board of the Virginia Interfaith Center and work with staff and grassroots to build a more just and compassionate Commonwealth by advocating for responsible public policy at the Virginia General Assembly.
