Interfaith Working Group:
In 2016, members of all the Abrahamic faith communities – Jewish, Muslim & Christian – came together to form a working group with a common purpose:
To promote understanding and knowledge about the cultures & beliefs of our diverse communities, to recognize our shared values, and to respect our differences.
Since that time, the Interfaith Working Group has promoted religious, racial, and cultural understanding through;
The sharing of one another’s scriptures
Public campaigns on “Welcoming the Stranger”
Peace T-Shirt Sale to benefit the Windham Area No-Freeze Shelter
Raising awareness about the lack of affordable housing for people who are homeless
Co-sponsored events on combating racism & understanding the immigrant experience
Support for legal representation for those seeking asylum
Celebrations of Earth Day
The Interfaith Working Group does not meet regularly, but members are ready to work with one another when the need arises.
