REQUEST AN INTERFAITH SPEAKERS PANEL The Interfaith Speakers Bureau is a new educational program offered by ING that teaches about the five major faith communities through onsite, interactive panels and interfaith dialogues. Its purpose is to promote religious literacy and mutual respect among people of different faiths and none. To request an Interfaith Speakers panel, please complete and submit this form. In most cases, you will receive a response within 24 hours. To speak with an ING representative, please contact our office at (408) 296-7312. In general, allow a minimum of two weeks for scheduling panels. Interfaith speakers panels are provided to K-12 public and private schools, colleges and universities, faith-based organizations and other non-profit institutions at no charge. Choose from a panel with up to five interfaith speakers to provide an introduction to each of their faiths and a topic of your choice; or, request the Muslim and Jewish panel for an overview of these two religions and their commonalities as well as key differences. To support our education outreach programs, donations and honorariums are welcome. Our interfaith speaker panels are generally 55 minutes long. Consider hosting a panel in an assembly for your entire student body or combining several classes so your students can learn from certified and authentic speakers that represent their own faith.
