Welcome to the InterFaith Council of Southwestern Connecticut 
  The Place for Interfaith Action...the Space for Interfaith Conversation.

 

The Interfaith Council inspires and influences our communities to embrace interfaith diversity

 and engage in collaborative action to remedy injustice, inequity and intolerance.

 

As a catalyst fostering community-building action and conversation, we

 

¨ Provide resources and convene events that increase interfaith understanding and create a safe space for

     growing and nurturing interfaith relationships;

¨ Engage diverse religious groups and individuals in  action to meet societal needs;

¨ Advocate for communities and issues that are often overlooked;

¨  Collaborate as an essential partner with congregations, non-profits, schools, and government agencies

      to foster a responsive, connected and compassionate community.

Community Vigil to End Gun Violence

20 Forest Street at Bedford Street, Stamford

On the first anniversary of the mass shootings in Tucson, the Interfaith Council and CT Against Gun Violence join with area police, elected officials, victims of gun violence and clergy to imagine a safer, more peaceful community where conflicts are resolved without guns - and guns are kept out of the hands of criminals and the mentally ill.

Speakers include (list in formation):


State Rep William Tong, Stamford
Lieutenant Chris Baker, Stamford Police Dept.
Jack Bryant, President, Stamford NAACP
Carlos Rodriguez, uncle of CT's first gun homicide victim in 2011, William Vargas

All are invited to gather at Old Town Hall,

175 Atlantic Street at 3 to march up Atlantic and Bedford Streets to the Unitarian Church.

the Vigil will begin there at 3:30, and end with a candlelight prayer outside.
