The Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee hosts the Amazing Faiths Dinner Dialogue, a monthly event where people of different faith backgrounds come together to share stories and build connections.
Building Bridges
According to Ahmed Quereshi, executive director of the Interfaith Conference, the event is one of their most important grassroots programs, aiming to foster connections between people of different faiths.
The Amazing Faiths Dinner Dialogue has been active for 15 years, with attendees from various faiths gathering to converse and connect. The event has grown in popularity, moving from private homes to large church halls, with over 50 attendees on some nights.
Monica Gramling, a regular attendee, said, “I never leave one of these dinners without feeling more connected to the other people in the world.”
Importance of Interfaith Connection
Irfan Omar, a professor of peace studies and theology at Marquette University, emphasized the importance of interfaith conversation, especially in today’s world of conflict.
The Amazing Faiths Dinner Dialogue’s next event is scheduled for July 29 at Deer Creek Senior Village in New Berlin.
