About Us

Congregations Together for Peace is a clearinghouse of resources for promoting peace. Our specific focus is building personal, local relationships between Christian and Muslim congregations and groups. In days ahead we plan to expand our site to include resources on Judaism. We work within the Abrahamic traditions with profound respect for the many other paths to the Sacred.
We are a small network of Minneapolis-based folks who saw both a rising tide of hostile rhetoric and a groundswell of good will and bridge-building efforts. We created Congregations Together for Peace as a way of sharing resources and lessons in Minnesota and beyond.
