Interfaith
(as defined by The Association of Interfaith Ministers)

Interfaith is a bridge...that allows members of all religions and spiritual teachings to reach out across the waters of life, in understanding and communication with each other. Interfaith affirms and supports the underlying goodness of each person, the healing of our planet.

Interfaith does not seek to blend or homogenize religious differences. Rather, Interfaith honors the sacredness and uniqueness of each faith, and then creates ways by which the many paths can meet on common ground. Differences between various religions and philosophies need not divide and separate but can instead enrich our lives and deepen our capacity to love.

Interfaith provides a structure whereby individuals of different faiths can dialogue and share their experiences, making a safe place to accept and learn about each other. As fluid, mobile societies and instantaneous communication change the cultural landscape of our world, this structure becomes vital.

Interfaith also speaks to those who feel alienated from mainstream religions. By providing a spirit of openness and resources for change, Interfaith encourages these individuals and groups to discover new ways to worship and to participate in the meaningful ceremonies of life. Through Interfaith, each person contributes to the whole while fulfilling their own unique role, their Divine Destiny.
