| The National Conference for Community and Justice of Metropolitan St. Louis (NCCJSTL) has a long and significant engagement with religious constituencies in the St. Louis Region. "NCCJSTL's Interfaith Work in St. Louis" empowers faith leaders to address oppression in all of its forms and to work collaboratively to change institutions and thereby transform the community. NCCJSTL partners with religious leaders who work to fight bias, bigotry and racism and promote understanding and respect among all races, cultures and religions. NCCJ provides technical assistance to religious organizations through its training processes, facilitation teams, collaborative community initiatives, and public policy advocacy.

NCCJSTL has developed and led rich and varied interfaith dialogue processes to explore community issues from the perspective of diverse faith traditions and to promote understanding of diverse faith traditions among faith leaders in the region. The Breakfast Dialogue Group, co-sponsored by NCCJSTL and the Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC), is the longest continuously meeting interfaith dialogue group in the United States. NCCJSTL co-sponsors the Interfaith Lecture Series of the American Jewish Committee and other regional interfaith activities.
NCCJSTL collaborates with other interfaith groups and organizations to promote positive interaction and direct action related to community initiatives that address NCCJSTL's mission.

The Interfaith Alliance: People of Faith and Good Will
The Interfaith Alliance (IA) is a non-partisan, clergy-led grassroots organization dedicated to promoting the positive, healing role of faith in civic life and challenging intolerance and extremism. On Capitol Hill, through community and online activism, and by focusing media coverage, IA works to safeguard religious liberty, ensure civil rights, restore good government, strengthen the public education system, eradicate poverty, and champion a safe and clean environment. With over 150,000 members drawn from more than 70 faith traditions — and those with none at all — and local Alliances in 38 states, The Interfaith Alliance aims to encourage compassion, civility and mutual respect for human dignity in an increasingly diverse society. IA actively challenges those, such as the Religious Right, who foster intolerance and degrade the value of a multi-faith nation, instead protecting religious integrity in America by affirming the duty of people of faith and good will to promote the healing and positive role of religion in public life.
