Join B’nai Jeshurun and St. Paul & St. Andrew United Methodist Church for a three-part interfaith series exploring what our faith and values ask of us as participants in American civic life during the nation’s 250th anniversary year.
Ahead of Election Day, join us for an interfaith conversation featuring three public servants who spend their days building bridges between New York City’s government and its diverse faith communities. We will hear from three team members from the NYC Mayor’s Office of Faith Based Partnerships:
Rabbi Miriam Grossman, Jewish Liaison to the Mayor’s Office
Minister Chris Smith, Christian Liaison
Brennan Peacore Brink, who leads the Mayor’s Office Department of Faith-Based and Community Partnerships
This panel offers a behind-the-scenes look at the people who make city government work. Through stories and reflections from their work, we will explore how local government serves New Yorkers, how faith communities and public institutions partner for the common good, and how everyday people can access resources, solve problems, and advocate for their communities.
The Office of Faith Based Partnership’s mission is to build and maintain relationships with diverse faith-based communities across New York City. The Office is nested under the Office of Mass Engagement, which encourages civic participation to help shape policy outcomes, demystify government, and ensure that the government remains accountable to the people of New York City.
