NAIN Connect 2007 - Early Registration Ends Soon!
June 5th, 2007
Next month, July 12-16, interfaith folks from across the US and Canada will be traveling to Richmond, Virginia, for the 2007 NAINConnect gathering. NAIN? Another one of those alphabet-soup names that seem so common in interfaith circles, NAIN stands for North American Interfaith Network. It is a coalition of over 65 interfaith organizations from Canada, the United States, and Mexico that cooperate together to “Build Bridges of Inter-religious Understanding, Cooperation and Service.”

Next month, July 12-16, interfaith folks from across the US and Canada will be traveling to Richmond, Virginia, for the 2007 NAINConnect gathering. NAIN? Another one of those alphabet-soup names that seem so common in interfaith circles, NAIN stands for North American Interfaith Network. It is a coalition of over 65 interfaith organizations from Canada, the United States, and Mexico that cooperate together to “Build Bridges of Inter-religious Understanding, Cooperation and Service.”
Each year, NAIN members gather to share ideas, learn from one another and foster an interfaith community. This year’s program displays the richness and diversity common to these gatherings. The theme is “Embracing Religious Freedom,” and topics for speakers and workshops will include “Separation of Church and State in Public Schools,” the “Statute for Religious Freedom,” which was penned by Thomas Jefferson, “Freedom from Terrorism and Tyranny,” “Religious Freedom What? Where? For Whom?,” “The Required World Religion Course from Modesto CA,”. and “Sacred Spaces: Fostering Religious Freedom through Permanent Sites of Interfaith Harmony.”
If you find yourself tempted by these, there’s still time to register for the event at the NAIN website. All are who are interested in interfaith are welcome to attend - you do not have to be a member of NAIN. We’d love to see you there - great time to network and find out what’s happening on this continent!
