Connections InterFaith Calendar
Connections continues to need the help and involvement of people of goodwill and common sense. Connect with us in working towards a changed environment, where together we can build mutual respect and understanding; foster nonviolence; value education and its promise; and honor the planet where we live. In working towards that end, Connections recently honored Archbishop Desmond Tutu at an interfaith breakfast. As part of Connections extensive work in education, Archbishop Tutu spoke at our leadership conference for high school and college students. Connections also recognized Harvard Medical School's Dr. Alvin F. Poussaint for his contributions to race relations, nonviolence and parenting education. Connections will soon be announcing a zero-landfill green initiative. This program is designed to keep toxic waste out of the waterways and landfills as well as help individuals in need stay connected.
Since its inception, Connections has remained true to its mission. Throughout its 74 year history, the organization has maintained a consistent focus on bringing people together from different social, economic, religious, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds to advance the larger goals of understanding, cooperation, mutual respect and social justice.
