📣Discussion “Interfaith Leadership: Lessons Learned” with Halil Avci on Monday!

Join us for an evening of reflection and community as we explore key lessons from a recent interfaith leadership experience with Halil Avci, supported by the Building Interfaith America Grant.

A short presentation will be followed by an open discussion and dinner, offering an opportunity to continue the conversation in a more informal setting.

🗣️Speaker: Halil Avci is a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies at Georgetown University. He received his M.Litt. in systematic and historical theology from the University of St. Andrews. His research interests in theology focus on interreligious encounters from a comparative perspective and on the theology of religions. Halil's doctoral work examines logos and kalām, the Word of God, as a shared concept of revelation for advancing Christian-Muslim relations.
