Here is a site worthy to add to the blogroll : Faith House Manhattan
LEARN FROM THE OTHER.
DEEPEN YOUR LIFE.
HEAL THE WORLD.
OUR MISSION : We want to start a new kind of community in which we can discover The Other (individuals or groups other than those we belong to), deepen our personal and corporate journeys, and together participate in repairing the world. In this endeavor we will honor and learn from teachings, practices, and suffering of people from religions, philosophies, and worldviews, different from our own. Instead of isolating ourselves into like-minded groups or melting together into a single-minded organization, we will learn to live together with our differences and in a way that contributes to the wellbeing, peace, joy, and justice in the world. In this endeavor we will always be a courageous, hospitable and learning community.
Quite a mission statement. I am sure it is challenging to put into practice considering the exclusive nature of our many faiths.Give a listen to two great talks with their founder Samir Selmanovic.
