Religious believers in the state’s larger metro areas, especially Milwaukee and Madison, have a long history of building bridges across their faith traditions.
At the Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee, for example, leaders gather regularly to discuss the many issues on which they can find common ground. And their members collaborate on a host of initiatives, from feeding the hungry to environmental preservation.
Now, over the next year, Wisconsin’s largest coalition of Christian churches hopes to encourage that kind of interfaith dialogue and cooperation in communities across the state.
