Interfaith Council of Anchorage Meeting Face to Face

Meeting Face to Face arose from the community activities surrounding the Engaging Muslims Project at Alaska Pacific University. People were seeking ways to engage in interfaith dialogue in smaller groups where conversation could flow more freely. Representatives from the Islamic Cultural Center of Anchorage volunteered to engage in dialogue with interested groups. These sessions were exceptionally well received and interest began to grow in the community.

Although the Engaging Muslims Project came to an end, Meeting Face to Face will continue as a program of the Interfaith Council of Anchorage. It has also expanded to include conversation with Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Unitarian and various Christian traditions. This program is an excellent representation of the Interfaith Council’s mission of responding to human need through cooperative effort, dialogue and education.

Meeting Face to Face is a program of the Interfaith Council of Anchorage that encourages dialogue between members of different faith traditions who are interested in learning more about one another’s beliefs, communities and cultures. If you are interested in learning more about Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Unitarianism and various Christian traditions. Qualified members of the Interfaith Council will come to your location and facilitate an open discussion with your group and people of faith from the selected tradition in a relaxed and respectful environment.
