Mission Statement
"The purpose of the Living Interfaith Church is to provide a welcoming, respectful and nurturing religious community for people of goodwill from all spiritual paths. We share who we are and celebrate our diversity, not to convert or convince, but in realization of our common humanity. We aspire to offer a model of an inclusive community that acts as an agent of good works in the local community and the world.
Vision Statement
"We envision our mission unfolding in such a way that we honor and welcome people from all spiritual paths, and covenant to encourage and empower each other as we root ourselves in social justice, in our own community and the world. We will establish a model for Interfaith education which truly respects the diversity that is humanity, and provide an example that other Interfaith congregations might follow without attachment to dogma — always keeping in mind that we are all worthy of respect, and our spiritual diversity is a cause for celebration.
"Specifically:
Welcoming All Paths
"Our mission is to provide a welcoming, respectful and nurturing home for people of goodwill from all spiritual paths. We seek to do so by creating:
"1. Interfaith services that explore some of the ways our differing spiritual paths approach a question, and
"2. Services that celebrate with integrity holy days from our differing spiritual paths, with the intent to share who we are, not to convert or convince.
"We seek to do so by recognizing that it is not so much the beliefs we hold (which are deeply personal and to be respected) but how we act on those beliefs that is crucial — and that we are called by our common humanity to act with love, compassion, and respect in the world, always remembering that we are our brothers' and sisters' keepers."
