NEXUS Interfaith Dialogue Series

One of the Center's hallmark programs is the NEXUS Interfaith Dialogue Series, co-sponsored by the Center, The Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities, and The Virginian-Pilot. The word "nexus" means "a point of connection," and this is what NEXUS is about: connecting people of all faiths through dialogue. Founded in 1999 by Virginian-Pilot religion columnist Betsy Wright Rhodes and Dr. Michael Panitz, Rabbi of Temple Israel in Norfolk, the goal of the NEXUS forum is open and respectful dialogue about our faiths, both our differences and the things we share in common.

Nexus Interfaith Dialogue Series for 2011-2012: Some Hard Questions About Our Faiths

Now, more than ever, our fractured world needs projects that bring people from various faith groups together for education and dialogue, promoting understanding between people of faith, about faith. - Betsy Wright Rhodes, Virginian-Pilot religion columnist and Nexus co-founder
