Committees

The Center for Interfaith Studies and Dialogue (CISD) Communication Committee brings together area businesses and philanthropists to promote religious, ethnic, and cultural harmony and sensitivity for peaceful living. The committee strives to educate and promote the principles of respectful religious tolerance and goodwill amongst different faiths and religions, develop relationships between these different faith and ethnic communities, and provide the tools to support a peaceful coexistence between faith communities. They accomplish this through establishing dialogue, organizing talks, presentations, exhibits and workshops, and by providing financial resources to aid in establishing an environment of understanding and peace.
