    Course Description:

    Tri-Faith Commons is an award-winning international model for interfaith learning, collaboration, and community-building. This unique project brings together a synagogue, church, mosque, and interfaith center on a 38-acre campus in Omaha, Neb. Using Countryside Community Church-the most recent architectural addition to Tri-Faith Commons-as a case study, discover how these diverse communities worked with the design team to find common ground to create a built space that unites populations that have been traditionally perceived to be in conflict. Through a conversation with Executive Director Wendy Goldberg, explore how the project evolved to create four distinct spaces that coexist within an intentionally-planned landscape.

    This course is geared toward a general knowledge audience but may be of particular interest to architects working with worshipping congregations or other forms of community-engaged design practices.

    Attempting to enroll for 15 Feb., 2024 Case Study. I saw that the course has $0.00 cost. Yet as t pressed buttons to confirm my

    attendance, lo, some screen popped up to demand a $199.99 + fee !

    Does that mean I cannot attend the Case Study for free without paying some (over) price ?

    I have done over 160 churches in my practice over the past 47 years and have gone to Interfaith events over the decades, but

    being asked to fork over a lot of money to watch one Case Study is a little much, just having paid over $700.00 bucks for dues.

    So, my question >

    If I fail to pay the big fee for the year's subscription am I then shut out of the 15 February Case Study ?'

    I know this is a volunteer situation, but could someone, sometime before 15 Feb. please say "yea" or "nay" ?

    Thank you.

    Hi John and we're sorry you had trouble registering.  The registration system is working properly so I'm not sure what happened.  I will contact you separately.
