Introduction

This guide was conceived as a resource for interfaith groups — those “everyday gandhis” who are making a difference one meeting at a time in their local communities. It is for people of diverse faiths who have been strangers (or worse, enemies) who become friends and allies dedicated to peace, justice, and healing. The guide has been designed for groups that are just starting out in their life together, as well as those that are more established and yet seek to strengthen their planning and sharpen their skills for building interfaith understanding and taking action.

With some adaptation, the activities in this guide can also be used by single-faith groups that want to reach out to other faith groups or would like to bridge differences within their own religious or spiritual community. Any group interested in learning more about other traditions and participating in interfaith activities will find something of use in these pages. Even interested individuals can deepen their own understanding by working with those parts of the activities that begin with individual, particularly, for example, in Section Three, “Understanding Other Faiths.”
