Interfaith Engagement in Milwaukee

A Brief History of Christian-Muslim Dialogue
This book offers an overview of the history of interfaith efforts and relationships in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. In the fall of 1980, two Franciscan Sisters and a Muslim professor launched one of the first “Islamic–Christian” dialogues in the country, thus beginning a journey of dialogue, friendship, and activism that had a lasting effect on their group and the larger Milwaukee community. This book brings together their stories of encounter and collaboration alongside those of other interfaith actors. The initial Christian–Muslim dialogue inspired the next generation of leaders to continue the work of building trust and mutual understanding through educational programs and social activism. The narratives presented here are based on qualitative data and scholarly research. They are accompanied by representative examples of the efforts aimed at cultivating spaces for interfaith dialogue and interaction between and among people from different faith traditions and backgrounds. The Second Edition includes examples of interfaith interaction and solidarity during the social crises occurred since 2020, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, violence against Black Americans, and the Israel-Gaza war.
