Saying it was the beginning of a "journey of passage" for Abrahamic people in the United States and beyond, Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori joined with national leaders of Judaism and Islam for an historic "Conversation on Peace" on March 27 at the Qwest Center in Omaha, Nebraska. The conversation was part of "Dinner in Abraham's Tent," the inaugural public event of the TriFaith Initiative, a partnership of Omaha's Temple Israel, the Episcopal Diocese of Nebraska and the American Institute of Islamic Studies and Culture.
The primary goal of the TriFaith Initiative is to create an interfaith campus in west Omaha with three separate houses of worship along with a center for interfaith collaboration and learning.
Joining Jefferts Schori in the discussion were Dr. Ingrid Mattson, president of the Islamic Society of North America, and Rabbi Peter Knobel, immediate past president of the Central Conference of American Rabbis. All three leaders said the event was historic and had the potential to demonstrate a new model of peace and reconciliation between Jews, Christians and Muslims, not just in Omaha, but throughout the world.
"I think that initiatives like this in Omaha can change reality on the ground here in the United States," said Jefferts Schori. "When Americans believe it is possible for Jews, Christians and Muslims to live together in peace in their very own community, they can begin to challenge their legislators to make that reality a reality in the broader society."
