This group of local faith leaders, all practicing within a few block of each other, held its first meeting spring 2009 in New York City’s East Village.
In a desire to know each other personally and to see where partnership might lead, the group has grown to support each other in real ways,
has embraced its shared mission to serve the community, to celebrate its tremendous diversity, and to rejoice in the rich traditions represented.
