WHAT IS FAITH HOUSE?
It is a dream now becoming a reality; a path to a better faith; a journey that goes through our beginnings before any religion was around, when we were all one, all human, all broken and blessed at same time.
At the start of this journey, we all have more questions than answers. That’s why God gave us the ability to dream.
Imagine:
Jews
Christians
Muslims
Humanists and Atheists
All wrestling with God and life together
Imagine:
One humanity
One pulpit
A rich diversity of voices
All learning from one another and cherishing the traditions of one another
Imagine:
A synagogue
A church
A mosque
Sharing lives in one community
Imagine:
A place of friendship and joy
An agency for social justice
A voice for peace
A place to express both grief and forgiveness
A school of love
Faith House will seek to bring progressive Jews, Christians, Muslims, and sojourners of no faith to become an interfaith community for the good of the world. We have one world and one God. Nothing is impossible. Who can stop God from teaching us how to live together in community?
We envision a vibrant urban faith community to which all are welcome to bring the treasures of their faith. We believe that in this respectful and disarming environment in which we are all learners as well as teachers, the depth, the beauty, and the truthfulness of faith in God will shine and capture the imagination not only of the cynics looking from the outside, but also the imagination of the cynic within each of us.
God uses people to change the world. No matter where you live on this planet, we need your help at every phase of this journey. Efforts that change the world take time, energy, and unlikely people to come together. Only after people work together and persist over a long period of time, will the tectonic shift happen.
Love is the way. There is no other way. And there are not enough people who really believe this. Let’s support each other any way we can as we learn to live the kind of life that can make this dream a reality.
