OCCJ Interfaith Dialog Group

This diverse group meets monthly for a spirited discussion on a wide range of social and cultural topics from perspectives influenced or mandated by our faiths. Established in 1991 as the OCCJ Jewish Christian Muslim Trialogue Group, it has matured to include people of all religions to share their faith-based beliefs, traditions, and practice. The objective is to progress far beyond tolerance and cultivate an understanding of how we and other people of faith think, act, and live. The meetings are casual, collegial, and open to all who want to learn more about the faiths represented by group members.

The group has adopted a set of guidelines and requirements for discussion that emphasize personal perspectives based on our core beliefs. Members strive to pay close attention to one another, avoid argument and stress understanding. Without exception, members leave each meeting having learned valuable historical facts, fundamental beliefs, and personal opinions of the participants.

Many meaningful discussions have been had over the years and the group invites interested members of Tulsa’s faith-based communities to join them! Contact OCCJ or a co-chair listed below to request joining the group and find out more information about this year's topics and meeting locations.
