Some NCFR history that may shock you

By Nancy Gonzalez, CFLE
Posted by Nancy Gonzalez | March 29, 2012

Part of our preparation for NCFR's 75th anniversary conference in 2013 will be the unveiling of the NCFR History project. One of our staff members called my attention to one of the conference panelists from the very first conference in 1938 and showed me an online book of his (scary) ideas. If I hadn't seen some of his work in print, I would have never believed it.

One kid, two kid, red kid, blue kid - choosing the size of your family

By Nancy Gonzalez, CFLE
Posted by Nancy Gonzalez | March 07, 2012

In this election cycle, for the first time in my adult life, family planning issues are front and center. I never expected contraception to be part of the political discourse, especially contraception practiced by a married couple. I can't think of a more personal--or more important--decision for couples to consider. Whether parents are in red states or blue states, this choice has social, ethnic and religious influences that are very, very strong. One of our NCFR members just wrote a book to help people think though this crucial decision.

Little Mosque on the Prairie

Posted by Aliya Hirji | September 15, 2011

CBC Television's hit sitcom LITTLE MOSQUE ON THE PRAIRIE is the internationally-acclaimed comedy about Muslims and Christians attempting to live in harmony with each other in the small town of Mercy. And they are about to learn that it isn't as easy as they thought. It is an enjoyable weekly comedy looking at the trials and tribulations of interfaith communications and the amusing aspects of "living Islam" with other Muslims and non-Muslims within a family, through friendship or in a small Winnipeg community.

Acts of Faith: The Story of an American Muslim, the Struggle for the Soul of a Generation

Posted by Aliya Hirji | September 15, 2011

Patel (founder and executive director, Interfaith Youth Core, "a Chicago-based international nonprofit building the interfaith youth movement") is an Indian Muslim who grew up outside of Chicago. In this memoir, he explores the evolution of his own religious and cultural identity as he gradually came to reject anger at being excluded from mainstream American society in order to promote interfaith awareness with a focus on younger generations.
