SUMMARY:Interreligious Communities Project: Solidarity Pledge and Celebration
DESCRIPTION:The Interreligious Communities Project (ICP) Solidarity Pledge Ceremony occurred at the Historic Blenheim Interpretive Center (3610 Blenheim Boulevard\, Fairfax\, VA) on Sunday\, September 15th\, from 3 to 5 p.m. Each community’s representatives formally signed the pledge and shared what it meant to them. \nA group of seven congregations around the Northern Virginia/Washington\, DC region has spent more than a year engaged in an interreligious effort to build understanding and solidarity across differences. Even in this time of heightened bias and polarization\, gathering and sharing our mutual humanity seeds hope. \nThese seven congregations and other partner faith communities celebrated their work together and the relationships built as they pledged ongoing solidarity in the interest of peace\, understanding\, and safe communities. \nWe have completed Phase 1! Congregations in Northern Virginia and Washington\, D.C. collaborated to explore sacred architecture\, get to know one another\, heal divides\, deepen understanding of self and others\, create community\, and build an inspiring future. Read the Solidarity Pledge below\, which they signed on September 15\, 2024\, declaring their learnings and commitments for the future. \n \nIn Phase 2\, the congregations will determine and enact a civic action project. Click here to learn more.​ \nParticipating congregations include: \nChinmaya Somnath \nFirefly House \nDharma Surya Tibetan Buddhist Temple \nMasjid Muhammad \nBurke Presbyterian Church \nTemple Rodef Shalom \nSt. Bernadette Parish
