"EXPERIENCING THE SPIRIT IN EDUCATION:
THE CHALLENGE OF RELIGIOUS PLURALISM"


Local Hosts: Greater Kansas City Interfaith Council and SpiritPath at Unity Village
Many interfaith organizations provide interfaith education to the general public, and many educational institutions have developed advanced multifaith programs. NAINConnect '09 will bring together representatives of these two environments to inform each other – to share stories, ideas and strategies for interfaith education so that we can all become more effective.

The North American Interfaith Network (NAIN) is a non-profit association with membership of interfaith agencies and organizations throughout Canada, the United States and Mexico. Its purpose is to provide communication, understanding and mutual strength among interfaith organizations, agencies and offices of denominations, religious, and educational institutions.

NAIN SEEKS TO:
• OFFER NEW VISION for intensified interfaith communication through programs of dialogue and social action.
• DEVELOP INTERFAITH GUIDELINES for comprehensive dialogue and action across religious traditions.
• PROVIDE A COLLECTIVE WITNESS of interfaith diversity through programs and events at regional and continental levels.
• EXTEND THE GIFTS OF NAIN MEMBERS by increased development of NAINews, NAINet and NAINOnline.
• FURTHER YOUNG ADULT LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT through interactive education, internships and programs.

We welcome proposals for workshops on exemplary interfaith education programs. To receive a Workshop Proposal Form, please contact Peter Laurence, conference co-chair, at [e-mail]. The deadline for proposal submission is March 1st.
