We have an interfaith group in my city. In 2003 I attended a interfaith prayer consisting of 14 different religions and faith in our city hall. Here is some of the info to find out about some of these groups. I won't put a hot link in, but just enter the info in the goggle search engine. North American Interfaith Network The North American Interfaith Network is a non-profit association of interfaith organizations and agencies in Canada, Mexico and the United States. NAIN affirms humanity's diverse and historic spiritual resources,bringing these to bear on contemporary global,national,regional and local issues. Without infringing on the effort of existing organizations, NAIN facilitates the networking possibilities of these organizations. NAIN encourages cooperative interaction based on serving the needs and promoting the aspirations of all member groups.

Hi Spirit, Thank you for this post...as I was reading I gotta admit I went WOW! Aboriginal...it's hard to remember that there is a faith associated with the word....its not only a people, its a way of life.....I was really interested in the dreamtime as a kid and (i think) there are many similarities with Native American spirituality........anyway, thanks again, I will be having a closer look at this!
