Interfaith Relations
Fourth Church is Committed to Interfaith Relations
Fourth Presbyterian Church has a long history of vibrant and mutually beneficial relationships with neighboring communities from the Jewish, Muslim, and other faith traditions.
The Interfaith Relations Committee of Fourth Church supports our community’s efforts to deepen our Christian faith by engaging the faith traditions of others. We serve as a resource to our church’s members, ministries, and friends in seeking to promote understanding, fellowship, and service for the common good among all people of faith.

Ongoing Interfaith Opportunities with Fourth Church
Ramadan is observed by Muslims world-wide as a month of worship, spirituality, compassion, charity, and dawn-to-dusk fasting. During the month, there will be plenty of opportunities for all of us to be good neighbors by participating in the activities with the Niagara Foundation, a Turkish Muslim organization and frequent interfaith partner of Fourth Presbyterian Church, as well as with the Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago and its Christian–Muslim Engagement for Peace and Justice (CCME). |
