NCCJ was founded in 1927 in response to a wave of religious intolerance sweeping the nation.
One of NCCJ’s most famous early efforts was the Tolerance Trio. The Trio was a group of three faith leaders – a minister, a rabbi, and a priest. Beginning in 1933, they visited hundreds of audiences across the country, asking Americans to embrace interfaith understanding.

NCCJ’s Interfaith Tours promote understanding and respect among all cultures, races and religions. For more than 20 years, this annual event has been bringing together people of all ages and faiths for a unique opportunity to meet neighbors who practice different faith traditions and hear from diverse faith leaders. Participants develop a stronger knowledge of and appreciation of different practices and beliefs.
