More on Interfaith Illinois -- a little more, anyway

As the Bible says, ask and ye shall receive.

That seems an apt way to start an updated post about Interfaith Illinois, a group that was among the sponsors of breakfast meet and greet this morning for Cook County judicial candidate Marcia O'Brien Conway. The photos accompanying this post came from that event.

In a post yesterday, I noted that I could not find a current website or Facebook page for Interfaith Illinois. I couldn't find any indication that it functions as a PAC per the Illinois State Board of Elections website, nor is there a listing for any Interfaith Illinois, Inc. on the Secretary of State's website. I asked if FWIW readers could supply any information about the group.

A reader was quick to send me this link to an article on the West Suburban Journal website, from the 2018 election, showing Interfaith Illinois as a sponsor of a meet and greet with then-gubernatorial candidate J.B. Pritzker.

Bishop Dr. Claude Porter was cited in the non-bylined post as the "chairman of Interfaith Illinois, Inc." Porter is also the Chairman of the Proviso Leyden Council for Community Action, Inc., an organization he founded in 1968, according to this September 11, 2019 interview by Mike Sandrolini on the PositivelyProviso.com website.

The Proviso Leyden Council for Community Action (PLCCA) does have a current website -- but it quite clearly states that a new one is coming soon -- and the listed email address no longer works either. (I had hoped to reach Bishop Dr. Porter via an email to PLCCA, asking whether Interfaith Illinois might be sponsoring other judicial candidate meet and greets in the future -- but the email bounced back.)

I will provide additional information when and if I stumble across it.
