The Interfaith Story Circles
A Project of the United Faiths Walk of Peace
The Dunedin Interfaith Story Circle is an outgrowth of the United Faiths Walk of Peace which began in 2016. Its purpose is to promote peace, justice, and mutual respect by bringing faith communities together for fellowship, dialogue, and increased knowledge of each other’s faith beliefs.
The Dunedin Interfaith Story Circle is modeled after Interfaith Story Circles in upstate New York which have been meeting since 1993. Interfaith Story Circles gather people of all spiritual and faith paths to share stories from their traditions and personal lives. Each monthly gathering has a theme that is announced in advance.
The heart-to-heart process of storytelling and story listening fosters an appreciation for the commonality of the human experience and builds community.
Following the featured speakers, attendees will break into groups to share stories and get to know each other better. Stories may be personal experiences, from your faith, or traditional tales. Come and share your story related to this month’s theme, or just come and listen. Either way, you will be warmly welcomed.
United Faiths Walk of Peace
Clearwater Friends works closely with United Faiths Walk of Peace which began in 2016. Its purpose is to promote peace, justice, and mutual respect by bringing faith communities together for fellowship, dialogue, and increased knowledge of each other’s faith beliefs.
