Interfaith dialogue, cooperation, and service are key components of responsible personhood in the make or break century. The challenges of our time are too great for people of different religions to not be working together to find ways to care for and bring restoration to our common world house.
Eboo Patel is one of the global leaders in fostering interfaith understanding and service, especially among young people, and he is coming to speak as part of the Distinguished Speaker Series at Oklahoma City University on October 23, 2013 at 7:30 p.m. in the Henry J. Freede Wellness and Activity Center at N.W. 27th Street and Florida Avenue in Oklahoma City, The presentation is free and open to the public, and the doors will open at 6:30 p.m.
As founder of the Interfaith Youth Core, Patel has provided numerous opportunities and programs for youth to understand and strengthen their own faith identities while learning about and serving with persons of other faith traditions.

If you are near Oklahoma City, I hope you will come for this important event, but more importantly I hope that we will all take his visit and presentation as an opportunity to become even more intentional in our interfaith cooperation and service. Hundreds of persons in the Oklahoma area have been reading Patel’s books and preparing for his visit with the hope of greatly enhancing interfaith work to create the beloved community in our midst. This event and the work that will follow have the potential to be transformative catalysts for greater interfaith service and understanding.
