Mino Akhtar traces her path into interfaith dialogue work through a life spanning four continents, a Master's in Human and Organizational Transformation, corporate expertise in collaborative methods, and a deepening practice of Sufism. Her early projects included bringing Arabs, Israelis, Jews, Muslims, and Christians together in Manhattan to address the Israel/Palestine conflict, and participating in a national Muslim/Jewish study initiative that fractured along political lines. From that fracture, two women, one Muslim and one Jewish, refused to let the work dissolve and founded the Women's Interfaith Initiative of Bergen County, New Jersey, inviting women of Muslim, Jewish, and Christian faiths into a more intimate circle of conversation. Akhtar became a co-leader, and the 9/11 backlash intensified both the urgency of that work and her own spiritual journey. Published in The World Needs Dialogue! Four: Putting Dialogue to Work, the paper reflects on what makes interfaith dialogue fragile, what makes it possible, and why women's circles sometimes hold what larger mixed groups cannot.
