Christian Leadership Fellowship on Antisemitism and Allyship
Christian Leadership Fellowship on Antisemitism and Allyship
We live in a time when antisemitism is ascendant in the United States and throughout the world. This dovetails with the rise of other forms of bigotry and hate, making our society less safe for various marginalized groups. It is vital, therefore, that our religious communities stand against antisemitism and other forms of oppression.
The Newton Interfaith Leaders Association and The Miller Center for Interreligious Learning & Leadership of Hebrew College present a new opportunity for learning and fellowship for teams of Christian clergy, youth leaders, and lay leaders.
Over the course of the spring, we will come together for three workshops on the dynamics of modern American antisemitism and intersecting forms of prejudice.
Fellows will receive seed funding for related projects in their communities of worship and/or in partnership with other area congregations/organizations.
We invite you to join us as a key partner in this crucial work in our community.

Are you ready for a weekend of service, learning and justice engagement?
Boston Faith & Justice Network unites Christians to live simply and give generously in pursuit of a just world. Our work is grounded in three core principles: pursuing justice, practicing economic discipleship, and engaging in community.
Our Micah 6:8 Program connects participants with social justice leaders in a process of sustained transformation. Rooted in compassion and Christ’s call for justice, the program offers a rich, hands-on experience which includes:
Contextual Serving: Volunteer with partner organizations serving those affected by homelessness.
Transformational Learning: Explore biblical principles of justice and generosity while gaining practical insight into local justice efforts.
Spiritual Equipping: Reflect through worship, prayer, and community to support lasting change and commitment.
Ongoing Engagement: After the program, receive curated follow-up resources—stories, devotionals, activities, and more—to continue the journey of justice.
This weekend experience is for adults (18+) and focuses specifically on housing justice and homelessness. Participants will work with local organizations like Rosie’s Place, Miracle Mile, and shelters, while also engaging deeply with the broader context of justice work.
Cost: $120 (includes meals, t-shirt, supplies, and staff support). Please contact elizabeth@bostonfaithjustice.org if cost is a concern.
Full attendance is required.
