Coalition of Theological Schools
Faith Voices supports a network of theological schools for education of the general public on shared religious values from various Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish traditions. The coalition members meet annually to cooperate on joint educational programs, to share programs across schools, and to provide resources to clergy and lay leaders for their educational efforts.

Truth Commission on Conscience in War
This Truth Commission will convene a group of interfaith leaders committed to launching a nationwide conversation to change current CO law, so that the conscience of soldiers and the just war tradition in religion may be included in regulations about Conscientious Objection. Current military regulations about Conscientious Objection require objection to war in any form. This requirement does not allow those in military service to object on moral grouds to a particular war.

The Axis of Friendship
In September 2008, Faith Voices worked with a coalition of Bay Area groups to create a Festival of Friendship with Iran in San Francisco's Civic Center Plaza and Faith Voices board members Brock and Soltani published an opinion piece about the Axis in the Boston Globe on September 10, 2008.

The Axis of Friendship continues to work to support interfaith and cross-cultural understanding through peace vigils and interfaith festivals.
