Faith Leaders Breakfast: Building Freedom, Dignity, and Solidarity The MultiFaith Council of NW Ohio Annual Faith Leader Breakfast was held from 8:30 am to11:00 am on February 4, 2026, at Monroe Street United Methodist Church.  47 clergy members, lay leaders and neighbors of 16 diverse faith traditions came together to explore religious pluralism in northwest Ohio. Using the World Cafe model, we had attendees rotate among hosted tables to address three questions.  We shared our vision for a community rich with religious diversity, we identified current threats to our freedom of conscience and religion, and we laid the foundation for protecting religious pluralism. We started with sumptuous breakfast buffets with restaurant style hot foods and cold continental style breakfast choices.  Care was taken to provide kosher, gluten free, and vegetarian options to meet all dietary needs. The discussions were energetic and gave opportunity to all attendees to participate.  Scribes posted key comments on sticky notes to a common wall.  The moderator, Executive Director Angie Fitzpatrick, held a summary discussion and provided a summary of all posted comments to every attendee within 24 hours.  That report will be attached. The energy in the room was warm and engaged.  Perhaps the most positive result was that several attendees were interested in a follow-up action group to address the perceived threats to freedom of conscience and religion.
