Many people have expressed an interest in joining
with those of other faiths to meet and pray together for peace in
the world, especially the Middle East.
Interfaith prayer can be a moving and heart-opening
experience that shines like a beacon in a world fraught with division
and hopelessness. In our group, we've learned a great deal from
one another through prayer and the sharing of traditions and celebrations.
Each of us has also come to see our own traditions in a new light.
Praying and talking together has provided an opportunity for intercultural
as well as inter-religious dialogue and connection, resulting in
true friendships and other opportunities to work together in community.
We've been involved in this effort since January,
2001. We're happy to encourage others, and to share our experience
and some resources we've developed.
