Friends,
 Philadelphia's Interfaith Walk for Peace and Reconciliation was founded in 2003, inspired by the Muslim-Jewish Peacewalk initiative launched in Albuquerque, N.M. by FOR members Imam Abdur-Rauf Campos Marquetti and Rabbi Lynn Gottlieb. The Philadelphia initiative is a walking dialogue between Jews, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Sikhs, Wiccans, Baha'i, Agnostics, and others.

Our Vision: To nurture a transformative process of reflection, relationship-building and action among faith and secular groups working toward peace and justice through periodic dialogues about challenging issues; community service; outreach to religious and ethnic groups experiencing intolerance or persecution; and an annual Interfaith Peace Walk.
