World Religions/Interfaith Programming
The Pilgrimage provides a safe sanctuary for groups to explore other faith traditions in two manners: educational trips and interfaith dialogue trips. Educational trips draw on Washington’s rich resources; groups learn about various religious traditions by attending services and visiting sites such as The National Shrine, The Islamic Center and Mosque, St. Nicholas Cathedral, The Washington Hebrew Center, The National Cathedral, and others. Using these experiences, groups can then learn about the importance diverse understandings of religions can offer to the world community. Generally this program should include a weekend (Friday to Sunday) so that groups can attend services of these differing faiths. LEARN HOW we create a program for you. Our interfaith dialogue trips focus on shared values to create a safe space for discussion. As a service-learning institution, we affirm the shared value of service found in all faith traditions. During service, members of differing faith communities create a common experience that forms the necessary foundation for equitable and open dialogue. Our interfaith programming draws upon the wealth of knowledge and credibility of such organizations as the Interfaith Youth Core to help build mutual respect between members of different faith traditions. This program offers important faith exploration and educational opportunities. See how a sample World Religions/Interfaith program might be constructed. |
