ALL ARE WELCOME

The boundaries and barriers which separate us are learned thoughts which are becoming 
less valid as improved communications introduce us to the ideas, customs and spiritual 
depth of other cultures. We are at a point in history like no other where the walls are 
crumbling and we are coming face to face with our fellow human beings. No longer does the 
concept of us vs. them, you vs. me ring true.  

At Interfaith Temple we
Embrace Diversity
Build Cross-Cultural Understanding
Encourage Spiritual Growth to Fulfillment

Our services are indeed a celebration of Spirit, regardless of the name by which you know 
that Spirit...

YHWH, God, Goddess, Allah, Buddha-mind, Emanuel, Elohim...

With the desire to help build understanding across ideologies, we invite you to join us as we 
explore the depth of spirit in religious practices from many cultures and religions.

====================
The Interfaith Temple will present seminary student Djaloki Dessables on
the Principles of Haitian Spirituality.

This will be a unique opportunity to learn about Vodou, facts about its history and practices, 
myths and misconceptions surrounding the faith, and how it is evolving as a current 
practice.  Participants are invited  to bring an object which will be blessed under the 
auspices of Ayizan and Papa Loko, the archetypal Priestess and Priest in the Ayitian 
pantheon.  There will  be ample space and time for questions, informal spontaneity and fun!   
Simplicity and open mindedness are welcome.
