A Word About Funding...

The work of the NCC Office for Interfaith Relations is funded primarily by gifts from NCC member churches specifically designated for interfaith relations. Some support also comes from grants allocated to specific projects. Increasingly we are looking for generous individuals to help us provide resources and develop new programs. Contact Dr. Antonios Kireopoulos if you can help, and/or for more information.

The Commission and Its Work

The Commission on Interfaith Relations is composed of persons with theological and/or practical expertise in interfaith relationships. Interfaith Relations Commissioners are drawn from member and non-member communions, ecumenical and interfaith organizations, and related organizations with concern for interfaith work.

The Commission seeks to be inclusive of a variety of viewpoints and traditions regarding interfaith relations. The work of the Commission is carried out in consultation with other faith communities. Commission members meet regularly to:

study interfaith issues,
build relationships between the churches and people of other religious traditions,
develop opportunities for the fullest possible sharing of ideas and counsel among the churches on the topic of interfaith relations,
nurture relationships with local and national ecumenical and interfaith bodies,
promote interfaith dialogue and understanding,
assist the NCC-member churches in developing their relationships with other faith communities,
provide resources for the churches for education in interfaith relations, and to promote interfaith study, dialogue, and common action.
