ING Guidelines for Hosting an Interfaith Holiday Event
ING GUIDELINES FOR HOSTING AN INTERFAITH HOLIDAY EVENT
As we enter this blessed period, we invite members of all faith communities to take advantage of the holiday season to learn a bit more about another faith, while renewing a commitment to their own faith. At ING we have also used our many years of experience to compile guidelines for hosting interfaith events around the time of religious holidays. Since the entire purpose of these events is to provide a positive experience and representation of one’s faith, it is just as important how the event is executed as having the event itself. Read More
