Developing Inclusive Spiritual Communities…
Is the process of improving people’s understanding, attitudes, and conduct regarding individual and community faith practices. The sharing of theological ideas and their practical application in a person of faith’s life is an important part of creating peace and ensuring religious freedom. Spiritual communities and disciples that can benefit from these programs include all segments of society; children, youth, college students, young professionals, adult families, alternative families, empty nesters, and the senior adult population.
