Multi-Faith Diversity Educational Program

MISSION STATEMENT Create harmonious relationships between individuals of different religions. Foster unity through awareness and recognition of the sacredness within all Faith Traditions. The Multi-Faith Diversity Educational program teaches individuals to respect and connect with others, regardless of their religious affiliations. The program reveals the sacredness contained within all traditions and separates facts from fiction by revealing historical truths. Myths and superstitions dissolve when the historical connections and similarities between traditions are revealed. Individuals who are knowledgeable about different religions are more comfortable willing, and able to engage in meaningful dialogue with religiously diverse groups. They also exhibit warmer feelings toward religious groups they are not a part of. Attitudes shift from religious exclusion to religious inclusion when we understand and embrace our similarities. Relationships are more effective when individuals understand how to engage in dialogue with those from other faith traditions. As we build coalitions and learn to appreciate and respect each other’s religions we create stronger, more inclusive communities.
