Sikh, Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, Hindu and Jewish community leaders will introduce participants to their houses of worship and religious practices as we explore some of the challenges and opportunities that interfaith community-building involves. The seminar is primarily intended for seminarians and divinity school students; a select group of lay leaders within religious, atheist/secular/humanist, and/or interfaith organizations are also sought for participation in this seminar. These leaders will have the opportunity to share with students and colleagues some of the current challenges their communities face in America’s multi-religious reality and the ways in which they, as individuals and as a community, are engaging with this diversity. *The Building Interfaith **Community and Leadership Seminar* is offered jointly between Andover-Newton Theological School and The Pluralism Project at Harvard University.
