Mission/Vision, adopted at the Annual Meeting, June 26, 2007

The Hyde Park and Kenwood Interfaith Council is an association of religious and spiritual communities, seminaries and service organizations which intentionally cooperate to foster just and compassionate relationships and interconnections.

Goals:

Promoting mutual understanding and respect through interfaith experiences of sharing, dialogue and learning;
Seeking peace and healing for Hyde Park and Kenwood and the world by strengthening and supporting community service and social and environmental justice efforts.
It is a priority for the Interfaith Council to expand the network of our relationships and to invite individuals and families to participate in our member organizations.

"Founded in 1911, the Interfaith Council is among the oldest interfaith organizations in the nation, and is the recipient of the National Ecumenical Service Recognition Award of the National Council of Churches. Its members agree to respect the integrity of their different faiths and the right to practice their beliefs. The Council is dedicated to projects for the betterment of life in the community and to the struggle for human equality. The purpose of the Association is to provide effective channels for cooperative expression of our shared mission for the care of the community. These channels include: community service, social justice, mutual spiritual enrichment and understanding... We seek ways to offer support in times of need, to witness to values that heal and repair division, and to create interfaith understanding."

Programs: Social Justice Committee, Community Thanksgiving Service.

  Seminary Consortium for Urban Pastoral Education in Chicago. Re. Dr. Shanta Premawardana.

A new coalition of seminary students that has established cooperative living quarters and is acquiring more: Seminary Action.

I would like to introduce you to our multi-campus students' organization,
SeminaryAction (www.seminaryaction.org). We are working for inter-church
and inter-faith cooperation; for getting seminary students more actively
involved in the neighborhoods around our campuses; and for improving the
whole experience of students studying in seminary in Chicago. We started in
2006 and are expanding this fall with the new academic year.

We are hoping to connect with area non-profits that are seeking volunteers
or interns, and we are also hoping to establish at least one 'Servant Worker
House,' where 6-10 students would commit to volunteering in the community as
part of their common living arrangement.

We are currently pursuing 501c3 status through the Fellowship of
Reconciliation and hope to be a positive connection between the
thousand-plus seminary students in our neighborhood and the surrounding
community for many years to come.

Attached please find a more detailed brochure of our organization, as well
as a description of the Worker House. If you have any questions or
suggestions, or would simply like to visit with us further, please don't
hesitate to contact info@seminaryaction.org.

Many thanks!

peace,

Le Anne Clausen, founding director
M. Div. student, Chicago Theological Seminary

--
It isn't about bashing 'the other side' as much as they might bash us. It
isn't about dressing like and speaking like and acting like the other side,
in hopes of proving that we have something fundamentally different and more
valuable to say. In fact, by striving to do just what they do, we look just
as foolish. This is not love, and we indeed gain nothing. Let love rather
speak in action, conforming not to those with more power and status over us,
but to those with less than us.

  Our church is a racially, socially, and economically diverse church that has been committed to serving the needs of the Hyde Park community and the students from the University of Chicago for the past 9 years. Our ministries include the Bags of Opportunity Ministry where we pass out food and bottled water to the needy families in Hyde Park. We also have the Ministry to the Poor where we pass out clothes and other necessities to the needy. We are a church who strongly believes that our love for God should be expressed in our love for those in our community. It is our hope that our church would lead the way in not only ministering to the needy in Hyde Park, but also raising awareness so that others can join us in this effort.
