ST. WILLIAM CATHOLIC CHURCH

I am writing to express my wholehearted support for the work and contributions of the Salaam Network among the faith and educational communities of Louisville, Kentucky and Southern Indiana.

For several years, in response to a growing climate of division and mistrust, the Salaam Network has served as an educational bridgebuilder and a catalyst for scholarly interreligious dialogue in our area.

As minister of peace and justice formation for the St. William Catholic Church, with extensive experience in spirituality and interreligious dialogue, I have been privileged to collaborate with the Salaam Network. Serving as an adviser, I have sought to help expand the network to encompass local Catholic religious communities and colleges. Additionally, I have encouraged participation from Catholic parishioners and staffs in the excellent educational programming that highlights the common spiritual heritage shared by the “People of the Book” (Abrahamic Religions).

I hope you will support the work of the Salaam Network, since its unique blueprint for educational cooperation at the highest level could be replicated in other communities, and many more schools and congregations could gather to listen to and learn from one another.
