Join us as we embark on a journey of inter-faith dialogue through our Scriptural Reasoning series.

The Scriptural Reasoning Series with Atlantic Institute!
­

Join us as we embark on a journey of inter-faith dialogue through our Scriptural Reasoning series. This unique approach brings people of different faiths together to read and reflect on their scriptures, not seeking agreement but exploring texts and their interpretations across faith boundaries. It's about learning to 'disagree better' and fostering deeper understanding and respect.

Event Highlights:

Topic: "Food"
Moderator: Rev. Dr. Jonathan Swanson from Hodges Boulevard Presbyterian Church

Engage in Genuine Dialogue: Scriptural Reasoning is a genuine opportunity for committed religious individuals to engage in inter-faith practice without undermining particularity. Deepen your own faith commitment and engagement with members of other faiths simultaneously

This is the 15th gathering of this series, where we'll explore different scriptures, fostering bonds across faith communities and promoting a deeper understanding of our own and others' scriptures.
Refreshments will be provided, ensuring a warm and welcoming environment reminiscent of Abraham's hospitality.

🗓 Date: Tuesday, August 25.
⏰ Time: 6:30pm
📍 Venue: The Point @ San Marco Presbyterian Church (2137 Hendricks Ave)
Parking is available on the first floor of the garage behind the church on Mitchell Avenue.

Everyone is welcome! RSVP today and be part of this transformative experience.

❤️🎒 Serving Together, Building Community

Today, Atlantic Institute and Istanbul Center were grateful to take part in the 2026 Arlington Interfaith Community Backpack Drive alongside our friends from local faith communities.

We sincerely thank every volunteer, donor, and partner organization who made this project possible. Moments like these remind us that serving together, despite our different backgrounds and beliefs, strengthens our community and brings hope to those who need it most.

Together, we can make a meaningful difference, one act of kindness at a time.

What a beautiful evening of dialogue, friendship, and community!💫

On June 2nd, we welcomed Jewish, Christian, and Muslim panelists and guests for our Eid al-Adha Interfaith Dinner. Together, we explored themes of sacrifice, faith, compassion, and service while sharing meaningful conversations around our tables.

We are grateful to our panelists, guests, and volunteers who helped create a warm and welcoming space for learning, listening, and building connections across faith traditions.

Thank you to everyone who joined us. We look forward to many more opportunities to come together in friendship and understanding.

Another wonderful evening of Scriptural Reasoning brought people from different faith backgrounds together around the theme “Encountering God.”

Through the story of Mary/Maryam, participants shared reflections on faith, trust, fear, hope, and the many ways we may encounter God in our daily lives.

This gathering was especially meaningful for us as it was officially our first Scriptural Reasoning session organized in partnership with onejaxinc We are grateful for the collaboration, support, and dedication of our joint planning committee, whose members worked together to help make this gathering possible.

It was a beautiful evening of listening, learning, and sincere conversation. We were especially happy to welcome many new participants and grateful to see this circle continue to grow.

Thank you to everyone who shared their reflections and helped create such a warm and thoughtful atmosphere. We look forward to continuing these meaningful conversations together.
