What other interfaith events are happening around this time?
The interfaith movement is truly expanding, and with it are the number of opportunities for us to gather. We are excited that this summer, in addition to our URI Assembly, there will be several other incredible interfaith events.
- Immediately following the Assembly, URI North America is proud to be co-sponsoring the Reimagining Interfaith gathering taking place in Washington, DC from July 30 to August 1.
- Just a few days later, our dear friends at the North American Interfaith Network (NAIN) will launch their annual gathering in Edmonton, Canada. This gathering starts on July 31 and runs through August 3. You can find out more about the NAIN Connect here.
If you are interested and able, we encourage you to consider attending one (or both!) of these gatherings. Due to the geographic proximity of the URI North America Regional Assembly and Reimagining Interfaith, we will be providing some support to those wishing to attend both gatherings.

Reimagining Interfaith
What’s the difference between the Assembly and Reimagining Interfaith?
The URI North America Regional Assembly is an intimate retreat-style gathering exclusively for URI members, all of whom are actively involved in interfaith peacebuilding work. The Assembly will be focused on best practice sharing, relationship-building, refreshment and community-building. Participants will also have the opportunity to guide URI’s future development.
Reimagining Interfaith is a collaborative event co-sponsored by over a dozen national and international organizations, including Interfaith Youth Core, the International Association for Religions Freedom, Religions for Peace USA and more. This event will be larger than the assembly and a chance to meet people at various levels of involvement in the interfaith movement. Programming will be focused on skill-building in five program tracks. There will also be a track for kids aged 5 to 13. You can find our more details about Reimagining Interfaith here.
