URI Cooperation Circle Unity-and-Diversity Council has been working for peace for over fourty years. Now they’re working on developing a “Global Assembly” web application as a tool for wide-scale consensus-building.
The Orange County Interfaith Coalition for the Environment (OCICE) is the newest Cooperation Circle member of the URI in North America. The group has been operating for fifteen years, with over one thousand people on their contact list in Southern California. Their membership includes Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, Christians, Baha’is, Sikhs, and Jews, all embracing the notion of “cultures of peace, justice, and healing for the Earth…”
The following message and request for support is intended primarily for the URI Cooperation Circles in California. It is an advocacy call for support from California Interfaith Power and Light, a Cooperation Circle based out of Oakland.
For those of you in California, please consider supporting this endeavor and please share with others in your Cooperation Circles.
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.”
