2022 Interfaith Youth Tour

Huge thanks to our sponsors, to Temple B’nai Israel for being the most gracious hosts, and to our featured communities - the Temple, First Unitarian of OKC, and the Islamic Society of Norman.

Faith and Gun Violence Panel

Join the Oklahoma Conference of Churches in a discussion about the role of faith communities in response to incidents of gun violence. What is the history of faith communities in the promotion and/or prevention of violence? What are active ways we can be instruments of anti-violence? What do our collective faiths teach about peaceful interactions with our neighbors? And how do we show up for one another in the midst of tragedy?

OCC Featured in Faith & Leadership

OCC was featured in this great article by Faith & Leadership, out of Duke University, on faith communities addressing the substance abuse crisis in our state and nation.

“Addiction is a medical issue, not a moral issue,” Fleck said. “And if we’re having blood donation drives in our churches, heart health clinics in our churches… there’s no reason we shouldn’t be doing the work of addiction assistance.”
