Interfaith Coalition
About the Interfaith Coalition
In the heart of Racine, Wisconsin, an extraordinary alliance has been forged, weaving together the spiritual essence of two diverse faith communities with the commitment of a medical clinic that serves veterans and underserved individuals. The Interfaith Coalition of the Albanian American Islamic Center and Kismmisis Tis Theotoukos Greek Orthodox Church, in partnership with Lakeview Health, is an exemplary model of unity, compassion, and cooperation, providing both physical and spiritual healing to those in need.
The foundation of this coalition was built on mutual respect, understanding, and a shared vision of fostering a compassionate and inclusive community. Recognizing that their respective religious teachings share common values of compassion, love, and service to humanity, the leaders of the Albanian American Islamic Center and Kismmisis Tis Theotoukos Greek Orthodox Church took the initiative to come together, creating an interfaith partnership that transcends cultural and religious boundaries.
Our Partnership
The leaders of the Albanian American Islamic Center and Kismmisis Tis Theotoukos Greek Orthodox Church have collaborated with Lakeview Health to create a space within the clinic where patients, if they wish, can access resources about Islam and Greek Orthodoxy.
The impact of this interfaith coalition has been profound on both the participating religious communities and the patients at Lakeview Health. Patients have expressed gratitude for the welcoming environment that promotes holistic healing, attending to not only their physical ailments but also their emotional and spiritual well-being. The exchange of ideas and knowledge between the two organizations and patients is designed to foster unity and respect between the two communities while working towards the common goal of spreading their messages to those who stand to benefit the most from it.
The success of the Interfaith Coalition of the Albanian American Islamic Center, Kismmisis Tis Theotoukos Greek Orthodox Church, and Lakeview Health is a testament to the power of collaboration, compassion, and understanding. By embracing thei commonalities in their beliefs, and leveraging their strengths, they have created a thriving model of interfaith cooperation that not only benefits their individual communities but also serves as an inspiring example for others across the nation. Together, they are sowing the seeds of harmony and healing, bridging the gaps between different faiths and bringing hope to all they touch.
