Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee

Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee The 22 members of Interfaith Conference are committed to regular dialogue within it's leadership committee.

They also foster programs to increase interfaith understanding, advocacy and social justice issues. The Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee is a non-profit agency through which the regional leaders and adherents of 22 member denominations and faiths dialogue to build relationships, do public education to foster understanding and tolerance, and work together on critical social issues to impr

ove the quality of life for everyone. Nonmember faiths also participate in many of our programs and activities. Our efforts are directed by a Cabinet of representatives from our member judicatories (regional administrative bodies, such as a diocese or synod), which together have more than 500 congregations in the Milwaukee area. The Interfaith Conference provides opportunities for people with different religious and cultural backgrounds to create a better society by dialoguing, building relationships and working together. This collaboration does not mean that people from different faith traditions must water-down their beliefs or otherwise compromise who they are as people of faith. Everyone is invited to fully represent who they are and what they believe. And through such sharing, many are both broadened in their understanding of others and strengthened in their own beliefs. Since our founding in 1970, the Interfaith Conference has issued moral statements and taken actions that have had an impact on such issues as poverty, hunger, homelessness, racism, health care, interfaith dialogue, education, global peace, international development, employment, crime, the criminal justice system, the environment, alcohol & drugs, and the graying of our society as generations age. Non-member faith groups also join in many of these efforts.

We will start this event with an Interfaith Prayer Service at 11 AM. Join the celebration.

In our eighth year of recognizing World Refugee Day, the HOME Refugee Steering Committee at the Lynden Sculpture Garden invites you to join us for a series of free, family-friendly events that celebrate Milwaukee’s refugee communities through art, food, poetry, and performance. Our theme for 2026 is We Belong/You Belong: Joy and Unity Against the Odds.

According to the United Nations, “World Refugee Day was first celebrated on June 20, 2001 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees. On World Refugee Day, we celebrate refugees’ contributions and seek to build empathy and understanding for their plight and their resilience to build a bright future.”

We begin with a World Refugee Day Community Celebration on Saturday, June 20, at the Lynden Sculpture Garden from 11 am to 4 pm. Organized as both a resource fair and a celebration of many cultures, visitors will be able to make art, sample food, and enjoy stories, poems, music and dance, and gather information on local services for refugees.

We celebrate World Refugee Day again on Monday, June 22 from 11:30 am to 2 pm at Milwaukee City Hall. The event, co-hosted with the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families – Bureau of Refugee Programs, will include a children’s art exhibit, performances of music and dance, poetry from refugee communities, hands-on art-making activities, and food trucks.
