This evening, renowned interfaith leaderEboo Patel will discuss the art and science <strong>of</strong> interfaith work, showing us that Americans fromGeorge Washington to Martin Luther King Jr. have been “interfaith leaders.” Sharing stories from thefrontlines <strong>of</strong> interfaith activism, he’ll bring to life the growing body <strong>of</strong> research on how faith can be abridge <strong>of</strong> cooperation rather than a barrier.Dr. Patel is founder and President <strong>of</strong> the Interfaith Youth Core, an international nonpr<strong>of</strong>it buildingthe interfaith youth movement. He was appointed by President Obama to the Advisory Council <strong>of</strong>Eboo Patelthe White House Office <strong>of</strong> Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships and serves on the ReligiousAdvisory Committee <strong>of</strong> the Council on Foreign Relations.

He has been featured on a range <strong>of</strong> media, including CNN Sunday Morning, NPR’s Morning Edition, the PBSdocumentary Three Faiths, One God, The New Republic, American Public Media, the BBC, and CNN. Patel is a sought-afterspeaker whose addresses include the keynote speech at the Nobel Peace Prize Forum with President Jimmy Carter. He is theauthor <strong>of</strong> Sacred Ground: Pluralism, Prejudice and the Promise <strong>of</strong> America, and Acts <strong>of</strong> Faith: The Story <strong>of</strong> an American Muslim,the Struggle for the Soul <strong>of</strong> a Generation, which was the 2011-2012 UUA Common Read and 2010 winner <strong>of</strong> the prestigiousLouisville Grawemeyer award in religion.FridayAn Ashoka Fellow, Patel was named by Islamica Magazine as one <strong>of</strong> ten young Muslim visionaries shaping Islam in America,was chosen by Harvard’s Kennedy School Review as one <strong>of</strong> five future policy leaders to watch, and was selected to join the YoungGlobal Leaders network <strong>of</strong> the World Economic Forum.
