Programs Presented by FAITH

The following are programs that have been sponsored by or affiliated with FAITH over the years.

Married to the Rabbi

This volume of essays provides an inside view into the world of the Reform rabbi's spouse and family in a period of American Jewish life since World War II, a time of major changes. Their moving, funny, and insightful stories add vital texture to our understanding of the history of American Judaism.

FAITH Films

Under the leadership of Canon Dr. Peter Elvy, FAITH Films produced “Missing Moses,” a Christian and Jewish 20 minute contemporary understanding of Moses and his relevance for our world. DVD’s have been manufactured for both PAL and NTSC regions. “Missing Moses” can be viewed on the web at www.missingmoses.org In 2012, “The Rabbi, the Vicar and the Imam” will be released. A nine minute documentary made by filmmaker Asher Tlallim, “The Rabbi, the Vicar and the Imam” features Rabbi Mark Winer, Bishop of London Richard Chartres, and Sarah Joseph, among many others. The short film is intended to use the interfaith experience in London both as a model and as a discussion-starter for people of all faiths and none throughout the world. A series of films in the mould of “Missing Moses” is planned beginning with “Missing Abraham.” Working with CTVC, a division of the Rank Organisation, Canon Elvy will expand the focus of “Missing Abraham” to be fully Abrahamic, inclusive of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim perspectives on Abraham.

FAITH Music

Working with Music for Youth, FAITH Music uses the love of music among teenagers to bring together young people of all religious and ethnic backgrounds, making peace and building interfaith understanding as they "sing their hearts out."

FAITH Art

Artist Domi Reiter is creating a new series of paintings of angels in the Christian and Jewish traditions. International Interfaith Leadership Training – Working with Forward Thinking, FAITH builds international interfaith reconciliation among religious leaders of all traditions, especially in their “religious Davos” gathering of religious leaders

Interfaith Peace Mission

Annually, FAITH participates in a trip which embraces people of all faiths, and involves them in discussions about interfaith reconciliation as they experience world travel.

Declaration of Mutual Recognition among Muslim, Christian, and Jewish Scholars

A first draft has been prepared by FAITH Director of Research Dr. Cathy Lasser. Gradually, Muslim, Christian and Jewish scholars are adding their suggestions.

Goals & Rationale

The overall goal of this program is to lower hatred, reduce despair and increase levels of mutual understanding, for a cooperative joint future for Israelis and Palestinians within Israel.

Our vision is for Arab and Jewish teens from the Jerusalem area to play football together, thereby learning about each other's cultures and religions and serving as a personal example of peaceful co-existence. The program will facilitate a multicultural, interreligious experience for a group of Arab and Jewish teenage boys in getting to know each other through competitive sports, building social relationships, and developing trust, tolerance and mutual understanding. Through participation in organized league tournaments and other activities, these teens will help spread the hope and the message of peaceful coexistence to other teams in the league. In addition, they will serve as personal examples in their high school communities and will be the program's best recruiters for future years.
