Promoting Interfaith Understanding & Community Service

Members of the Interfaith Committee participate on behalf of WHC in the Interreligious Council of Northwest DC. The Council in turn brings together members of WHC, St. Albans Episcopal Church, and Church of the Annunciation (Roman Catholic) to promote interfaith understanding and community service. The Council meets quarterly to explore a wide range of theological issues from the unique perspectives of the three faiths. The Council also sponsors the annual Kristallnacht commemoration, an annual community-wide Thanksgiving dinner, and other special interfaith programs open to members of the three congregations and the public at large.

Women's Interfaith Book Group Tuesday, February 23

Daughters of Abraham meet monthly at the National Cathedral and occasionally at Washington Hebrew Congregation on the 3rd or 4th Tuesday, depending on religious observances, from 4-6 & 7-9 pm. There are 60 Jewish, Christian and Muslim women participating in the groups, and new members are always welcome.  The groups read a book a month, fiction or non-fiction, about Judaism, Christianity or Islam. The group is not a course, but since the books build on each other, the women usually read the books even if they cannot attend every month. Next meeting, Tues. Feb. 23, to discuss, Elie Weisel's, Souls on Ice.
