Hosted by Multifaith Neighbors Network (MFNN)

Outrage is consuming our society, with anger and hostility permeating every facet of life. Recent studies report that political polarization in the US has reached a record high, resulting in cancel culture and a breakdown of empathy. Kindness and accountability have been abandoned in favor of political expediency, putting the very foundations of our democracy at risk. We must take action to reverse this trend, engaging in civil discourse and embracing diverse perspectives, before it’s too late. Our future depends on it.

At the Global Faith Forum, we will tackle the topics of civility, citizenship, and how to be a good neighbor from a variety of religious perspectives. Together, we will learn how EveryONE, individually and as a whole, can work on building peace in a time of outrage.

The Global Faith Forum is strategically being hosted ahead of the IRF Summit and the National Prayer Breakfast, creating a unique opportunity for multi-faith leaders to engage in dialogue and collaboration. This alignment fosters continuity between these significant events, amplifying the impact of faith-driven conversations on global religious freedom and human dignity.

The IRF Summit 2025 will bring together international religious freedom leaders, advocates from around the world, and a diverse coalition of civil society actors that passionately support religious freedom around the globe.
