Progress and a Path Forward
|
On March 23, the IFLC board and several invitees gathered to consider the direction and purpose of the organization. International peacemaker and IFLC Secretary Rev. Dr. Dan Buttry facilitated the all-day retreat, leading a thoughtful and in-depth discussion of the IFLC's goals, strengths, successes, and needs.
According to IFLC President, Raman Singh, a recent revision of the IFLC by-laws occasioned some changes on the board and a desire to step back for a moment and take a look at how and how well we were pursuing our mission of interfaith education, conciliation, and connection.
