Once every thirty to thirty-three years, the first day of Lent, a forty day Christian season of prayer, fasting, and reflection, and the first day of Ramadan, a 30 day season of prayer, fasting and reflection, are on the same day. In 2026 Braver Faith will host a webinar on that day to honor people of all faiths \u2014 traditional and nontraditional \u2014 to pray, reflect and gather in solidarity with one another. The session will be led by leaders of the Braver Faith team, and will include brief orientations to Ramadan and Lent, readings from the Qur\u2019an and New Testament, moments of silence, and music.<\/span><\/p>\n

As tensions escalate, disagreements intensify, and fear metastasizes, we are called to be braver. These ancient religious traditions provide us with an opportunity to commit to a season of reflection, and to join our souls together in a witness to hope, healing, and hospitality to one another.<\/p>\n
