Faith to Faith is an informal organization of people interested in discussing and learning about the problems that animate the conflict between Israelis and Palestininans. We hope for a secure and just peace. Participants come primarily from Third Presbyterian Church, Temple B'rith Kodesh, and the Islamic Center of Rochester. However, our group is growing to include members of other faith communities.

We try to foster an atmosphere of respectful challenge and discussion of the very difficult questions that are often shunned by other interfaith and political groups in the Rochester area. Meetings are usually held monthly. For more information on Faith to Faith please contact FaithToFaithDialog@gmail.com.
