About us
The InterFaith Alliance of the Southwest believes that the spiritual traditions of any particular people testify to the wisdom and strength of that people. We all have the same experiences as humans as we cope with birth, illness, sorrows, joys, aging, death and hope. All spiritual traditions are part of the collective wisdom of the world’s human community. As we enter into dialogue we do so with the upmost respect, recognizing the sacredness of each tradition. There is no attempt at harmonization, reduction, or syncretism. Each tradition is upheld with esteem and gratitude. Mission Statement In our Border region a diversity of faith communities and spiritual traditions exist which give us the opportunity to learn about our unique beliefs and practices so as to foster meaningful relationships with one another.
The InterFaith Alliance of the Southwest, earnestly seeks to: • Offer opportunities to promote mutual understanding and respect through education and dialogue, • Cooperate from the perspective of our faith traditions to address the issues that impact our region, especially those that affect vulnerable populations within our community. • Work together for a brighter and more peaceful future. • Strengthen our commitment to be good neighbors through recognizing and affirming our spiritual and cultural richness.
