Interfaith Community Partnership

The Summit Interfaith Council, a coalition of leadership of the religious communities of Summit, exists to “seek the welfare of the city (Jeremiah 29:7).”  We recognize our common spiritual ground while celebrating the diversity of our traditions.  Our purpose includes developing a voice to speak to the city and its people of out of our common religious perspectives.

To do this, we will:

1. Foster mutual understanding and respect;
2. Seek to include all religious perspectives;
3. Exercise stewardship through communication and the coordination of our resources; and
4. Encourage dialogue in order to appreciate the unique contributions of various perspectives.
