Important note

• Submission of a recommendation does not equal participation in the Circle. The recommended candidates will be subjected to a selection process by the Secretariat. Only selected participants will be contacted by The Secretariat.

• Please read the Terms and Conditions before you submit the recommendation.

​

Terms and Conditions 

• Applicants must be between 25 and 60 years of age at the time of application.

• Applicants must provide valid documentation confirming their role as a religious leader and evidence of an active congregation or community affiliation.

• Applicants must be physically and mentally fit to participate in the intensive three-week interfaith travel program.

• Applicants must possess a valid passport and any other required travel documentation.

• Selected participants are required to fully participate in the entire Circle program and all related activities throughout the full three-week itinerary.

• Selected participants must demonstrate a strong commitment to hosting fellow Circle members from the 1000 Abrahamic Circles Project, representing diverse Abrahamic faiths — Christianity, Islam, and Judaism — as well as different countries and communities.

• Selected participants are expected to actively contribute to the planning and coordination of Circle activities within their respective host communities. Responsibilities may include, but are not limited to:
      * Developing local itineraries and community engagement activities;
      * Managing personal visa arrangements;
      * Coordinating transportation and accommodation;
      * Participating in research related to the 1000 Abrahamic Circles Project; and
     * Ensuring that private discussion sessions among Circle members are conducted at least three times during the hosted week.

• The Secretariat will cover round-trip airfare for the entire journey (economy class), arrange the flights, cover visa fees, and provide a limited living allowance during each hosting week. This allowance is intended to help offset household-related hosting expenses incurred while welcoming the other two Circle members into participants’ homes. Any additional personal expenses will remain the responsibility of each participant.
