February Is Interfaith Harmony Month in the DMV

For the fourth year in a row, IFC is convening “Interfaith Harmony MonthDMV” in which we present a month’s worth of interfaith programs and events in our region. Previous partners have included Mosaic Harmony, Rumi Forum and Washington Theological Consortium, which offered their own events that we copublicized. Examples of past events include interfaith: service projects, studies of sacred texts, dialogues, shared meals, and concerts. The only requirement is that you demonstrate cross-faith collaboration in your program.

If you are part of an organization engaged in interfaith work, consider offering a special "Interfaith Harmony" program or event in February.

Harmony Through Art

The arts have long been a means of bringing diverse peoples together, including from different faith traditions. Following a tour of the museum exhibition Prayer and Transcendence, participants will engage in reflection and dialogue. The conversations will take place among Anne Lindberg's sitespecific installation what color is divine light?

IFC Offers Religious and Cultural Literacy Workshops

To be fully prepared to engage in today’s diverse society, whether as a professional, a member of a religious or spiritual community, or simply as a resident of the DMV, one needs to be knowledgeable about the different beliefs, practices and cultures that exist within the greater Washington area. To better bridge the differences that too often keep us apart, IFC offers different types of religious and cultural literacy workshops aimed at increasing understanding and respect for all who live here.

All of our workshops are designed to educate and equip participants to engage in religiously diverse settings. Topics to be addressed may include: creating a religiously equitable environment; addressing common misconceptions of different faith traditions; and modeling complex conversations around religious and cultural differences.
