Top 10 Reasons for Attending the Launch of the INMC

We are extraordinarily privileged to be living in Montgomery County with a County Executive and County Council committed to making us the most welcoming county in America.  Beyond welcoming they want us to celebrate our unique identities and traditions while also becoming inclusive.
The faith community is uniquely positioned to move across lines of difference and recognize our essential identities as sisters and brothers of one human family.  Our Executive Committee for the County Executive’s Faith Community Advisory Council has been leading three working groups and several committees with remarkable success.  We have hosted delegates from 37 countries wanting to know how we are creating social cohesion and public safety.
Now a grant and public-private partnership with Interfaith Works makes it possible to launch the Interfaith Network of Montgomery County.  Here are 10 reasons to become part of it.
