Interfaith Book Trail

Embark on an enriching interfaith journey through hands-on activities that promote unity and celebrate the diversity of people and their faith traditions.

What Are Book Trails?

Interfaith Book Trail is a program for children (K-5th Grade) to introduce them to faiths other than their own.  Through visits to different houses of worship, storytelling, activities, and sharing, students make friends from neighboring faith communities and learn about one another’s traditions.

Each session includes:

  • A story from the host faith community
  • Snack time
  • Art activity
  • Reflection on the five Passport to Understanding practices: Be Curious, Welcome In, Venture Out, Stand Tall, and Stand With.

    Attending the Navigating Difficult Conversations workshop was transformative. I now approach every challenging dialogue with empathy and confidence, turning potential conflicts into opportunities for deeper connection and understanding.

  • Past Participant
    I was deeply moved by the 'living library' participants who exhibited ways that their faith is integrated into the wholeness of their lives and not just "checked at the door.

  • Sahir Muhammad, WTW Alum
    Not only did I learn and experience things that I have not been exposed to before, but I have also made new friendships with people of many diverse backgrounds, which will hopefully last a lifetime. I was very ignorant about other people’s religions because my mindset thought “who cares, as long as I follow my own religion, I’m good.” Walking the Walk changed that closed mindset and taught me to embrace all world religions.

    I think that it is so important that we are learning about other cultures and faiths because it forms who we are as we grow up and it pushes us to recognize that everyone is human.

  • Mosaic Summer Program Facilitator
    The Mosaic program incorporates the Passport to Understanding curriculum to introduce middle school students to interfaith interaction. Each day, we explored one of the Passport themes: Welcome In, Stand Tall, Stand With, Be Curious, and Venture Out.

    This was an eye-opening trip for me. I had to step outside of my comfort zone on multiple occasions, but when I did, it was so rewarding.
