Diversity MemphisMulti-faith Dialogue
Diversity Memphis works with a broad spectrum of our faith communities' leaders and members to design programs that provide information, education and the opportunity to participate in interactive learning. Through social, prayerful, powerful exchanges we learn about each other and the faith communities in our city. We examine the ties that bind us together and the differences that make us unique FreeLand Youth Camp
Our youth camp, named after long time supporter Dennis Freeland, brings together high school students from diverse backgrounds to provide opportunities for leadership, learning and social engagement. We believe that children are our future and by broadening their horizons we can change our world. Programs designed for weekends, a weeklong camp, and special day and evening gatherings introduce delegates to a unique experience. Social networks are established, prejudices examined, and the opportunity to create a land free from bias, bigotry and racism becomes a reality. Adult Programs
Programs designed to discuss sensitive subjects such as Disparities in Healthcare, workplace issues and examination of those common threads that bind us together are designed and implemented following extensive discussion.
Faith Matters
Wednesday, August 30, 2007, Diversity Memphis held its' first Faith Matters Leadership Breakfast. Over 30 Faith Leaders attended a breakfast, learned about Diversity Memphis and had the opportunity to share information about activities that were coming up. By far the most important aspect of this gathering was the opportunity to listen to the Faith Leaders and learn what they thought were important issues facing our community. Special Thanks to Cindy Sakaan and Laura Fox Ingram for making this event happen. This will become an annual activity for Diversity Memphis and is another example of the types of Faith Work our orgnization does. For more information on how you can be involved in this and other activities contact us a 405.9555 or through the web site.
