Faith Partners of the Americas is a non-profit corporation [501 (c) 3] that works to build relations of solidarity between churches and the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean and churches and the peoples of North America.

Faith Partners is a project of the Council on Hemispheric Affairs.  Anyone wanting to donate to its work can make donations to COHA, specifying that they are for Faith Partners of the Americas.

Our Vision: to see a world where cooperation and solidarity are the hallmarks of human relations and where the Abundant Life proclaimed in the Gospel is the standard for all.

Our Mission:  to provide information about the hemisphere and promote relationships of solidarity between the faith communities and the peoples of the hemisphere that will work toward justice and the elimination of poverty.

During the 70's, 80's and 90's, close relationships were established between many of the churches in the US and partner churches throughout the hemisphere.  Faith Partners seeks to nurture relationships of solidarity between the faith communities of the hemisphere in the 21st Century.

When we say that "Solidarity is the new name for Faith" we are simply trying to remind us all that we are God's people and that living in a faith relationship with God implies and requires that we live in solidarity with each other and with God's Creation itself.  Faith that is purely individual and individualistic is not true to the Biblical witness. 

Through programs of Travel/Study Seminars, Educational Events, Interchanges, Conferences, and Information, Faith Partners seeks to enrich the long heritage of caring and sharing of the faith communities of the hemisphere in ways that are appropriate to the 21st Century. There has probably never been a time when understanding has been so important as today.  We hope that bringing leaders and representatives of the peoples of the hemisphere together can contribute to an increase of understanding that will result in deeper bonds of solidarity.

At all points Faith Partners will focus on problems of poverty and injustice.
