“The Interfaith Amigos”

Our Speakers: Pastor Don Mackenzie, Rabbi Ted Falcon and Imam Jamal Rahman—now known as the Interfaith Ami-gos—started working together after 9/11. Since then, they have brought their unique blend of spiritual wisdom and humor to audi-ences in the US, Israel-Palestine and Japan. Their first book, Get-ting to the Heart of Interfaith (Skylight Paths, 2009), brought the Interfaith Amigos international attention with coverage including the New York Times, CBS News, BBC Radio, and various NPR sta-tions. Karen Armstrong calls their “exuberant and courageous” se-cond book, Religion Gone Astray: What We Found at the Heart of Interfaith (Skylight Paths, 2011), “an inspiration and example for all of us in these sadly polarized times.” Their work is dedicated to supporting more effective interfaith dialogue that can bring greater collaboration on the major social and economic issues of our time.

Mackenzie is head of staff at University Congregational UCC Church in Seattle, while Falcon is founder of meditative syna-gogues in Los Angeles and Seattle and Rahman is a Muslim Sufi Imam and co-founder of Seattle’s Interfaith Community Church.
