Candles symbolizing interfaith connection and shared light

Interfaith Connections reflects the Atlantic Institute’s ongoing commitment to building genuine relationships across faith communities throughout Atlanta and beyond. Through visits, guided tours, conferences, and shared meals with congregations, clergy, and community organizations of many traditions, we create space for honest conversation, mutual learning, and lasting friendship. These connections remind us that understanding grows not from similarity, but from the willingness to listen, to visit one another’s spaces, and to walk alongside our neighbors in pursuit of a more compassionate and connected community.
