The History of TIO: The Interfaith Observer was launched on September 15, 2011 by a group of committed interfaith leaders across generations, to tell the stories of interfaith relationships, culture, and the interfaith movement. In 2016, a new web design was created to facilitate the 1,500+ library of published essays accessible to a growing readership. 

Over the years, TIO has become a connecter and bridge-building presence within the global interfaith community, today as a member of the North American Interfaith Network; an Affiliate of United Religions Initiative-North America; a Cooperation Circle of United Religions-Multiregion, and today creating resources alongside the Parliament of the World's Religions through the auspices of the Center for Ecumenical and Interreligious Engagement at Seattle University. TIO has long-standing, mutually supportive relationships with the Parliament of the World’s Religions, Religions for Peace USA, and Religions for Peace International, among numerous partnerships.
