Interfaith Action
We are a town and a nation with complex multiple identities - different religious, ethnic, and cultural groups living side-by-side. We have a choice.
We can engage religiously diverse groups to reflect upon our values, beliefs, and practices; connect through respectful dialogue and shared celebration; and, act together to serve our community.
or…
We can stay separate, harboring fear and mistrust.
Interfaith Action chooses “reflection, connection, and action.” We invite you to learn more about our dynamic Youth Leadership Program, where high school students plan and run major celebrations, conferences, and interfaith dialogues. Participate in our annual Teen Interfaith Diversity Education (T.I.D.E.) Conference or future T.I.D.E. Training programs. Discover how the Sharon Pluralism Network and other community programs create ways for a town to embrace all citizens and create a culture of pluralism.
