CHICAGO Responding to the deep divisions in the United States, IFYC and Fellowship in Prayer have launched a fellowship with $15,000 awards over two years to support faith leaders who are demonstrating the power of interfaith cooperation to bridge deep divisions in America’s civic fabric. The Sacred Journey Fellowship will bring together a cohort of ten civically engaged leaders to support, inspire, and connect bridgebuilding efforts across various sectors.
“The Sacred Journey Fellows will be a racially and religiously diverse group of highly capable and, in some cases, highly visible leaders who view interfaith cooperation as a key aspect of their calling and commitment,” says Dr. Eboo Patel, founder and president of IFYC. “Together they will grow in their own leadership capacities as they learn from one another’s spiritual commitments and personal and professional experiences.”
