The JLI Faith Dialogues Group brings together theologians, faith scholars, academics, and development practitioners from diverse faith backgrounds.

The group aims to create a safe space where participants can share different faith teachings, spiritual insights, religious traditions, or lived experiences of relevance to decolonization, power, injustice, and oppression.

The Faith Dialogues Group hosts monthly online discussion sessions for participants to share research, case studies, and experiences, and critically discuss the relevance of these teachings for their own contexts and organisations.

The Faith Dialogues Group will also share and circulate reflections from their online discussions through regular blogs and articles, available on the JLI website or other platforms, in multiple languages.
