Past Events

Interfaith Seminars - May 2022

God's Freedom Evensong Worship for Black History Month 2/6/22

Interfaith Seminars - May 2022

 The Online Interfaith Spring Seminar Series was a project provided by the hard work and dedication of an intimate interfaith group based on the Upper West Side. Our mission was to practice speaking about our faith and acting as treasure hunters when listening to the faith journeys of others. We are committed to curiosity, respect, and love - understanding that we are all one and that our differences are our strength.   


This 3-part series served to scratch the surface of this ancient tradition of interfaith, centering questions and exploring many truths that remind us that unity is achieved through diversity.
