Listen to the story of Cecile and Lance:Ĭecile is French-born, the Jewish daughter of a Holocaust survivor. Such is the case with interfaith couples. "Think not that you can direct the course of love," wrote the Lebanese poet Kahlil Gibran, "for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course." That is the eternal, healing, magical presence that brings an interfaith couple together. It is love, after all, that breaks down the prejudice and fear between people of different faiths and cultures. Learning to understand and appreciate our differences brings enrichment to our lives. So we need each other to become fully human." "I have gifts you do not and you have gifts that I do not. "We are made for complementarity," says South African Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Indeed, the list of interfaith organizations in the United States and around the world grows longer each year. The United Nations is an international, intercultural, interfaith assemblage. The Unitarian Universalist Association traces its origins to 1793 the Baha'i faith originated in 1844, the Theosophical Society in 1875, Ethical Culture the following year. Humanism flowered in the Italian Renaissance. The interfaith message of Sufism is twelve hundred years old.

Interfaith is the acceptance and celebration of humankind in all its magnificent faiths, colors, cultures, and traditions. Each religion is an instrument for the divine, and together the world's religions form a glorious symphony. Interfaith emphasizes the universal principles and spiritual compassion taught by all schools of divinity and ethics. We start by listening to one another, and to the humanity in all of us. Interfaith begins when we create a bridge between one set of beliefs and traditions and another. Juan Mascaro, introduction to the Bhagavad Gita
