Faith & Religious Mediation Services

Offering in-person mediation in New York and online mediation globally

In mediation differences foster connection.

A note about us

We are an inter-faith team offering in-person mediation in New York and online mediation globally. As an inter-faith team, we thrive off our work supporting religious communities in conflict.

Unfortunately, many disputes in our political and social realm also divide faith communities. As a result, faith leaders and communities are blockaded from fulfilling their vision and calling to one another and their neighbors. However, these crises also present a profound opportunity for connection.

Our faith and religious mediation services center on supporting each community’s unique needs. We carefully work to understand who needs to be a part of the conversation, what they need to talk about, and how they want the conversation to happen. Our process supports partakers exactly where they’re at. As a result, faith communities, elder boards, vestries, search committees, wardens, clergy, and local church/mosque/synagogue leaders find common ground and pathways forward through mediation.

Turning conflict into opportunities for growth

Our role is to support faith communities in transforming conflict into an opportunity for connection, direction, and restored growth. Faith and religious mediation services offer you and your community the opportunity to:

  • Communicate directly (no more miscommunication through the grapevine)

  • Get support - you’re no longer navigating disruptive differences alone

  • Hear one another better

  • Fully express where you’re coming from

  • Co-create a new understanding

  • Generate a shared sense of direction

  • Revive connection

  • Restore momentum

  • Continue growing together again

"Thanks for your thoughtful help in organizing and managing our discussions. You were both a pleasure to work with, and were instrumental in helping us move things ahead in a constructive way." -

- Pastor Search Committee Member, NY

We were fortunate to have been introduced to Haas Mediation when searching for someone to help with a volatile and complex conflict in one of our congregations. The patience and thoughtfulness with which they approached their work with this community was exemplary and, ultimately, healing for all parties.

- The Rev. Canon Nora Smith, Canon for Transition Ministry, Episcopal Diocese of New York

“Andrew and Hannah brought a steady, non-anxious presence to a fraught conversation that our church needed to have. Working with us over a period of about ten months, they helped our mediation group hear each other and understand each other better..”
