Journey from the MidWest to the MidEast ...

The Indianapolis-based International Interfaith Initiative (III), in collaboration with the Village Experience, led a trip of a diverse group (including representatives from Jewish, Muslim, Catholic, Evangelical, and Hindu religious communities) to the Middle East from December 27, 2009 to January 9, 2010. It was a follow-up to the very successful III Mideast trip of 2008. Read about the adventure on this blog. Look for partnership opportunities for your group at www.internationalinterfaith.org ... and be part of the next trip from Indy to the MidEast.

From the 2008 Trip: Interfaith opportunity

Traveling as an interfaith group has provided a wonderful opportunity for increased understanding and building empathy. Comments about "others" that may have slipped by in different circumstances have hightened my awareness about the importance of language while working in an interfaith environment, particularly if we wish to be effective in forging effective partnerships based in trust.
