What is the Forum on Faith

The Forum on Faith brings together religious leaders, government officials, business executives, academics and community leaders to discuss the benefits of faith in strengthening individuals and communities. The universal message of the Forum is that religion is a powerful force for good in society and can be beneficial in many ways to both believers and non-believers. Faith can make the world a better place.

The program will include keynote speakers, panels, and break-out discussions to address relevant topics such as:

• The general declining participation in religion: the impacts and how to respond

• The rising generation: how to interest them and how to keep them involved

• How can religion help to build bridges between people of different beliefs

• What people of faith can do to promote civil dialogue

• How religious literacy can lead to unity

• How faith blesses communities through outreach and service

• What we can do together

• The importance of religious identity to individuals

• How faith can bless communities

Our faculty will include representatives from a variety of groups including:

religious leaders; community groups; government leaders; journalists; diplomats; UN delegates; celebrities of faith; academics; charities; business leaders; and judges.
