INTERFAITH CONNECTIONS
THE UNITED STATES IS THE MOST RELIGIOUSLY DIVERSE NATION ON EARTH. OUR AMERICAN TRADITION OF RELIGIOUS DIVERSITY CREATES A FERTILE OPPORTUNITY FOR DIALOGUE, UNDERSTANDING, COOPERATION, AND PEACE. OUR MISSION IS TO PROVIDE HOME AND LOCAL-BASED EDUCATION PROGRAMS TO PERSONS AND GROUPS INTERESTED IN DEVELOPING AND ENHANCING THEIR APPRECIATION OF THE FAITH TRADITIONS OF THE WORLD.
WE DESIGN INTRODUCTORY PROGRAMS TO HELP PARTICIPANTS COPE WITH STEREOTYPES, INNOCENT MISUNDERSTANDINGS, EMBARRASSING QUESTIONS, AND GENERAL KNOWLEDGE OF THE MANY FAITH TRADITIONS OF HUMANKIND.
WE WILL PROVIDE CONTACT INFORMATION FOR THOSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO MEET PEOPLE FROM THE VARIOUS FAITH TRADITIONS, AND PERHAPS VISIT THEIR PLACES OF WORSHIP.
PROGRAMS ARE CONDUCTED IN GATHERING SPACES OF APARTMENT BUILDINGS, CONDOMINIUMS, WORSHIP SITES, EDUCATIONAL CENTERS, OR INDIVIDUAL HOMES.
