"Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step." --Martin Luther King Jr.

Many Faiths, One Heart

Louisville, Kentucky is the annual home of the Festival of Faiths, which brings together many religious and spiritual traditions of the world in an effort to both recognize diversity and celebrate unity. With a general theme of faith and cooperation, new conversations explore aspects of traditions that foster cooperation and dissolve barriers of fear. The Festival believes that a key component in changing the world and addressing the risk of violence between religions is undertaking outreach, conversation and relationship building with individuals who are "different" than we are. These are catalytic steps in imagining a world in which religion is a cause for peace, opening ourselves in ways that multiplies the generosity and compassion in our lives. This video has highlights from a recent Festival of Faiths.
