Minnesota's Diversity is Our Strength

The Minnesota Multifaith Network (MnMN) is the statewide network connecting and equipping faith & interfaith leaders and organizations working for a more just and loving world.


MnMN connects and equips Minnesotans

for multifaith learning, leadership and action.

Our two main functions are to:

MnMN connects Minnesotans by convening interfaith leaders, faith organizations and practitioners across the state


MnMN communicates opportunities and resources  for interfaith involvement and learning


Building

relationships to transform the world.

At the heart of MnMN’s mission is the understanding that society can be transformed for the common good through relationship building and the power of collective action.  It is important to understand that MnMN is not an organization but a network.  MnMN operates via a  process called “network weaving” which brings together disparate people and organizations around their interests, needs and opportunities for collaboration.  MnMN has a rich and trusted history of convening and communicating across culture and faith traditions in Minnesota.  It is this expertise and experience that provides the trust and structure necessary to facilitate relationship and community building.
