Micah Fries – Multi Faith Neighbors Network
Religion has shaped history’s greatest acts of compassion and its most devastating conflicts. In the name of religion, too many wars have been fought, injustices carried out, and neighbors turned into enemies.
But what if it doesn’t have to be this way?
Who is on the other side of your comfort zone? Have you ever considered that you may be on the other side of someone else’s? Does having a different faith/religion have to divide us or could we actually become friends and work together to make this world a better place?
Our guest has dedicated his life to building bridges, stepping across divides to make peace and cultivate friendships. Micah Fries, is the Director of the Multi-Faith Neighbors Network, Director of Engagement at Glocal.net, and co-editor of Islam & North America: Loving Our Muslim Neighbors. Drawing on his experience as a pastor, author, and global minister, Micah explores how Christians, Muslims, and Jews can build trust across deep divides.
We tackle some hard but hopeful questions:
· Why is multi-faith friendship so crucial right now?
· Can interfaith engagement actually strengthen faith?
· What does it look like when neighbors choose understanding over suspicion?
This conversation will challenge the stories you’ve heard about religion and invite you to imagine a better way forward.
