SUMMARY:C3 | Religious Diversity in the Workplace
DESCRIPTION:Each year, the Religious Diversity session features panelist representation from different faith traditions. This thought-provoking program is ideal for participants who have worked in religiously diverse contexts and want to explore issues of diversity in more depth.\nDeveloping experience in supporting religiously diverse settings fosters employee retention, builds team connections, and allows the shared values of co-workers to make the workplace a more welcoming setting. Companies that promote workplace diversity tend to increase reach and contact with a wider population, clients, and customers.\nWednesday, October 14\n10:00-11:30am\nZoom\n\nWho Is This For?\nAll Nonprofit Professionals\nWhat You’ll Takeaway\n\nInclusion drives team cohesion and retention. Supporting religious diversity in the workplace deepens co-worker connections, leverages shared values, and creates a welcoming environment where employees feel valued and are more likely to stay.\nBroadening faith perspectives expands business impact. Engaging directly with diverse faith traditions—such as through panel discussions—helps organizations better understand and connect with a wider, more diverse client and customer base.\n\n \nMeet the Moderator\nReverend Edward Livingston\nDirector of Community Partnerships, Interfaith Philadelphia\n\nThe Reverend Edward Livingston serves as Director of Community Partnerships at Interfaith Philadelphia, where he staffs the Religious Leaders Council and the Inter-Seminary Initiative—both fostering mutual support and deeper understanding among diverse faith traditions. He also contributes to Interfaith Philadelphia’s Leadership Institute, developing pathways for interfaith skill-building and engagement.\nHe holds a Master of Divinity from the Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia (now United Lutheran Seminary) and studied Globalization and Ecumenism at the World Council of Churches in Geneva, Switzerland. With over two decades of pastoral and community organizing experience through the United Church of Christ, the Direct Action Research Training Network, and Faith in Action, Rev. Edward brings a deep commitment to equity, belonging, and mutual respect. His vocation is grounded in the belief that fostering understanding through interfaith dialogue and community-based initiatives is essential to repairing the world—one relationship at a time.\nPanelists to be announced soon covering the following faith traditions: Judaism, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and Islam.\n \n
