A definition of interfaith08 November, 2006 11:09 In the glossary I am writing at my spirituality workshop StudioZero.org, I finally got around to composing an entry for interfaith. It took a while to get my head around what I wanted to say, because I have observed people use interfaith in such a variety of ways. Eventually, I deciphered two major camps: people who think of interfaith as communication happening between established religions, and people who think of interfaith as being a common ground where many religions can be combined or unified.

The newly formed Unitarian Universalist Spiritual Directors' Network has published its first web site. So far, it is mostly a membership directory of about 50 spiritual directors across the US, and a couple in Canada and the UK. Soon they will be adding articles and other information to the site.

See their article on mysticism for a good example of such interfaith process in action.
