Conversation: Rabbi Samuel Karff, Archbishop Joseph Fiorenza, and Rev. William Lawson
Moderated by Melanie Lawsom, award winning journalist

How can a shared concept of the Divine inspire three faith leaders to collaboratively address issues of social justice in Houston? The “three amigos” Rabbi Samuel Karff, Archbishop Joseph Fiorenza, and Rev. William Lawson share their interfaith work and how it’s influenced their own spirituality and ministry in service to the community, moderated by Melanie Lawson, award winning journalist.

Rabbi Karff is Rabbi Emeritus at Congregation Beth Israel; Archbishop Fiorenza is Archbishop Emeritus of Galveston-Houston; and Rev. Lawson is the founding pastor of Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church. Working together they have tackled some of Houston's most challenging problems, including homelessness, juvenile incarceration, and fair housing. A reception follows the program.
