A Call For Justice and Healing: The Role of Minnesota's Multifaith Community in Times of Division

MnMN's 5th Annual Conference

Whatever the outcome of Election Day 2024, the Minnesota Multifaith Network believes that the work of healing and building just communities is needed now more than ever.

This year's convening, A Call For Justice and Healing: The Role of Minnesota's Multifaith Community in Times of Division, Distrust, and Trauma, invites us to confront the deep divisions being experienced today. We know those divisions are creating pervasive distrust and causing great trauma. In the midst of such painful realities, we believe that within our various religious and spiritual communities lies wisdom, experiences, and practices that can contribute to healing and the work of justice. Join us at the Hindu Temple of Minnesota as we explore ways in which different faith traditions can come together to promote justice and healing.

In our day together we not only will name the realities of our divisions but share and experience ways that healing and justice might be our shared commitment and work. This time together is an opportunity for self-critical reflection, sharing best practices, and learning from one another and the wisdom of our traditions. We will lift up and listen to the voices of those who are ‘othered’ and marginalized as we build bridges, relationships, and community - weaving together a shared cry for justice and sharing in the work of healing.

We will close the day with a traditional banana leaf meal, a culinary tradition from South India where food is served on a banana leaf, often reserved for special occasions and celebrations.
