Interreligious Council of Southern California

Yesterday I met with the Inter-religious Council of Southern California (IRC) (sorry no website yet - it's coming soon). The picture above is a good representation of our council. We are Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Baha'i, Sikh, Catholic, Armenian Orthodox, Quaker and Protestant denominations of all kinds.
The occasion of the photo is the signing of our Bylaws. The IRC has been in existence for a long time but we're just now getting our official status sorted out. I've only been a part of the IRC for the past six months. I officially represent the Southern California Conference, along with Betty Cooney, the Conference Communications Director. In fact, at the meeting yesterday I was elected to be the Treasurer for the group for the next 12 months. I'm honored to serve.
Next Thursday, June 12, at the Hollywood Adventist Church, we will be having our Annual IRC Service Project. This year we have been collecting items which will be assembled on June 12 into hygiene kits and other important items to be distributed through three agencies to survivors of Domestic Violence.
