Next Generation Interfaith Leadership Initiatives
The Council of Religious Leaders of Metropolitan Chicago is engaged in preparing the next generation of interfaith leaders for our region.
Faith & Trust Future 2022 Leadership Cohort
In 2022 the Council of Religious Leaders of Metropolitan Chicago is working with the Faith and Trust Future Interfaith Leader Cohort to foster interfaith relationships and collaboration through dialogue and to explore what conditions are necessary to achieve individual and social trust. The cohort, who hold positions of leadership in ten different faith traditions in the City of Chicago and are all under age 45, has met in monthly seminars with CRLMC members as well as representatives of the Chicago Police Department to learn more about each other, explore issues of community concern, and identify ways to address deficits of mutual trust in the community.
Together, the cohort will develop and conduct a conference on November 16 to address these issues with other emerging faith leaders from across the metropolitan area.
The Faith & Trust Future InterFaith Leader Cohort is provided by the Chicago Community Trust.
