About the Convention
The Faith to Action Network Interfaith Convention 2025 marks the 4th bi-annual gathering of faith leaders, practitioners, youth, and allies committed to interfaith collaboration for social change. Held previously in 2019, 2021, and 2023, this unique platform fosters deep dialogue, mutual learning, and action-oriented partnerships across religious and cultural traditions.
This year’s theme, “Faith Actors: Stewards of Change,” affirms the responsibility of faith communities to be bold advocates for dignity, justice, inclusion, and peace. At a time of shrinking civic space and growing global inequality, the Convention will spotlight how faith actors are mobilizing to heal divides and uphold the common good.
