Faith as a Public Good: Confronting Islamophobia with Rev. Dr. Michael Woolf

Rev. Dr. Michael Woolf is the Senior Minister of Lake Street Church of Evanston and Co-Associate Regional Minister for the American Baptist Churches of Metro Chicago. A pastor, scholar, and activist, he works at the intersection of faith, justice, and interreligious solidarity. His forthcoming book, Confronting Islamophobia in the Church: Liturgical Tools for Justice (Judson Press, 2026), co-authored with Rev. Dr. Anna Piela, equips Christians to resist anti-Muslim prejudice as an expression of discipleship. Through his ministry and writing, Woolf calls faith communities to embody courage, humility, and compassion in building a more just and pluralistic society.You can purchase the book by clicking here.  Want to be a guest on Voices That Propel Us: Stories of Justice, Action, and Community?
