What Is An Interfaith Community?

An Interfaith  Community is a collection of individuals who are dedicated to loving themselves, one another, and the universe. At Mystic Heart, we experience the wonders of who we are individually and collectively as a group. We welcome all faith paths, philosophical points of view, and ways of life that acknowledge and honor the Divine, and support and uplift the growth and evolution of the planet and its beings.

Our community is modeled after the concept of the Beloved Community, created by Josiah Royce, further developed by Rev. Howard Thurman and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and as presented by Rev. Jim Lockard in Creating the Beloved Community.  It is a place where purpose and passion meet, where we practice and become the persons we desire to be and support others in their efforts to do the same. (Summarized from Creating the Beloved Community by Jim Lockard)
