Who We Are

The Ecumenical and Interfaith News Network is a web-based news service for Presbyterians who are interested and/or engaged in ecumenical and interreligious relations and who want a one-stop source of information about these. You are invited to read the news summaries and follow the links to their sources. For your assistance, we attempt to give special attention to Presbyterians' participation in events and organizations.
Presbytery liaisons are invited to contribute information to this web site on what is happening where they live and serve. They are also urged to ask questions about news or information that does not appear on this web site. Contact the content editor. |
