Interfaith Amigos are a pastor, rabbi and Islamic imam who combine spiritual wisdom and humor to explore economic, social and religious issues in a post 9/11 world. Imam Jamal Rahman, Pastor Don Mackenzie and Rabbi Ted Falcon openly address the usual taboos of interfaith dialogue the "awkward" parts of each tradition in order to create a more authentic conversation. Joining forces shortly after Sept. 11, 2001, Interfaith Amigos have brought their unique message to audiences in the United States, Canada, Israel-Palestine and Japan. Their first book, "Getting to the Heart of Interfaith" (Skylight Paths, 2009), brought the Interfaith Amigos international attention with coverage from the New York Times, CBS News, the BBC and various NPR programs. Their second book, "Religion Gone Astray: What We Found at the Heart of Interfaith" (Skylight Paths, 2011), has been described as "exuberant and courageous, an inspiration and example for all of us in these sadly polarized times." Rabbi Ted Falcon, PhD, spiritual guide, author, teacher and therapist, has taught Jewish traditions of Kabbalah, meditation and spirituality since the 1970s. Pastor Don Mackenzie, PhD, is devoting himself to interfaith work after retiring as minister and head of staff of University Congregational United Church of Christ in Seattle. Originally from Bangladesh, Imam Jamal Rahman is co-founder and Muslim Sufi minister at Interfaith Community Sanctuary in Seattle and an adjunct faculty member at Seattle University.
