Religious Resources

1. New York Christian Resource Center: The emphasis is on targeting areas of need, securing the necessary resources, raising local support and distributing whatever is available to effect spiritual and social transformation within the community. Working through a growing "collective" network of churches, ministries and agencies, the "miracle" extends across racial, geographic and denominational lines.

2. The Center for Interfaith Studies and Dialogue (CISD): promotes research and encourages strategies for living peacefully in a religiously diverse world. This vision is realized through dialogue, education, and community-building efforts.

3. Council for a Parliament of the World’s Religions: Over the years, the Council has initiated dialogues and nurtured relationships among people of difference. In doing so the Council has provided a framework for expressing many visions of a just, peaceful and sustainable future. In the process, religious and spiritual communities have discovered a shared commitment to ethical principles.
