Building Vibrant Faith Communities

St. Paul’s United Church of Christ
900 Summit Avenue
Interfaith Action member organizations gathered Thursday, May 11, for the 2023 Annual Assembly. We were grateful to hear from Rev. Dr. Molly T. Marshall, President of United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities, and an interfaith panel of Presiding Elder Stacey Smith, Rev. Riz. Prakasim, Dr. Abdisalam Adam, and Rabbi Adam Stock Spilker. They shared what brings them hope, how they are building meaningful engagement, and what the social justice they are pursuing in their communities. Thank you to everyone who attended!
