Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke of the “beloved community,” a place where justice and love come together to overcome hate. Our religious, spiritual and secular identities may call us to act together to care for one another. How can we come together across our differences? Can we use those differences as strengths rather than dividing lines?  

Join us for the Illinois Interfaith Conference at the University of Illinois where we will explore these issues and more. Visit our website for more information. Registration is free.
