Faith and (In)Justice Summer Exhibit Circuit
June 10 – August 28 in Various Locations
The Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio invites the community to experience Faith & (in)Justice, a traveling exhibit (developed by the Freedom Center in partnership with the Cincinnati Museum Center) exploring the complex relationship between religion and social justice in the United States.
Through interactive displays, historical objects, images, and multimedia storytelling, the exhibit examines how the nation’s major Abrahamic faith traditions — Judaism, Christianity, and Islam — have both advanced and, at times, hindered movements for justice and equality. Addressing issues such as slavery and civil rights, gender and LGBTQ+ equality, economic justice, and environmental stewardship, Faith & (in)Justice encourages visitors to reflect on the role faith communities have played in shaping our shared public life. The exhibit highlights courageous individuals and organizations inspired by their beliefs to advocate for dignity, liberation, and the common good.
More than a historical exploration, this exhibit invites participants to consider their own values, what has shaped their perspectives on justice, and how we might seek common ground in protecting the “unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” for all people.
As part of a diocesan-wide engagement with the themes of faith and justice, the exhibit will travel throughout the summer to each of the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Ohio’s Historically Black congregations, with each church hosting the exhibit for one week before its final showing at Christ Church Cathedral. The exhibit journey begins during the week of Juneteenth, inviting communities into reflection on freedom, liberation, and the ongoing work of justice.
