WOMEN
OF FAITH
BUILDING HOMES,
HOPE AND
RELATIONSHIPS
Organized
by Judy Csillag, Director of Outreach
and Partnerships, the goals of the
Women of Faith Build were to bring a
diverse group of women
together to share a meaningful
intercultural experience and to increase
awareness of the need for affordable
housing. This
initiative provided an opportunity for
women to connect with other women
who may have otherwise not have met. A
week prior to the build, they
participated in a community-building
workshop facilitated by Carla
Wittes, VP, Programs, and Jenni Stoff,
National Programs Manager.

A
NEW LIGHT OF HOPE IS SHINING
UPON US ALL. By Dr. Kamran Mofid - Interfaith Unity Columnist Tonight(4th November 2008) hope triumphed over fear, common good over individualism, service and sacrifice over selfishness and greed. Tonight the wall of hatred, hopelessness and despair that separates us from the common good fell and bridges of love, compassion, cooperation, justice and peace were built.

The era of neo-liberalism, disaster capitalism, adventurism, uncalled militarism, torture and pseudo-nationalism is over. It is the dawn of Globalisation for the Common Good. Today is a watershed in the US and world history. Thank you President Obama for who you are and what you do. Thank you to the American people for electing President Obama to lead the way to a better world. (...)

On
Thursday, October 16, 30 women of
different faiths, ages, cultures and
backgrounds gathered at the first Women
of Faith Build, a
collaboration between the Canadian
Centre for Diversity and Habitat for
Humanity Toronto. 
A
glistening San Francisco cast
off its summer fog for the first
three
days of NAINConnect 2008
Embracing Our Interfaith
Future,
held July 24-28. When the fog
returned on Sunday, old friends
and new
and a cacophony of happy
conversation kept us from
noticing.

the front of the room, in a large white

Buddha statue.
