NAINConnect 2008 Workshops

Theme: Gifts We Bring
ASSEMBLY 2 - PROFILING EIGHT EXEMPLARY INTERFAITH PROJECTS

WORKSHOP SUMMARY
Plenary Session - All Attending

One of the ways we decided to explore the ‘gifts’ within the interfaith community was to seek out exemplary interfaith groups successfully approaching bridge-building in new ways. We could have had twice as many equally interesting groups had we the time. The projects we heard about and chose are all exciting. At this assembly, we will hear from each briefly; most of them will offer special workshops. Click on this workshop title to see a list of the profiled groups and links to their websites.

PRESENTERS

The profiled organizations, partnerships, and projects are listed with their websites. At the workshop in July, each will have time during this plenary session to tell their 'story' in summary. They have also been invited to present workshops about their work. Until then, check out their websites and see the amazing things they are doing!
