Event Description: Come and hear how Jews, Christians and Muslims are expected by their faith to protect the environment.

We will create a network of Jews, Christians and Muslims who will work together for these goals:
  • To grow relationships that bind together those who have been strangers
  • To listen and learn from each other’s traditions
  • To open our hearts to each other’s perspectives
  • To support each other as extended family

According to tradition, Abraham kept his tent open in all four directions, the more easily to share his food and water with all travelers. In that Spirit, we welcome all those who desire justice, peace and dignity.
