Every human has innate value and deserves to be treated justly and with dignity and respect.
We all have the right to pursue our own spiritual path.
Seeking to live out one’s spiritual values benefits the community as well as the individual.
Every faith tradition has insights and emphases that can be of benefit to us all, leading to deeper understanding and a greater appreciation for one another so we can live together more peacefully.
Ultimate Reality is dramatically bigger and greater than any of our human descriptions are capable of portraying.
Every faith tradition has saintly adherents whose lives impressively reflect the ideals of the faith, as well as adherents whose lives are anything but a tribute to the faith.
We acknowledge that individually and collectively we fall short of the highest ideals of our respective faith communities.
The credibility of religion in general is enhanced when diverse faith communities work together in peace and harmony for the betterment of the larger community.
People of faith should be committed to the well-being of the greater community, be it local, regional, national or global.
The Interfaith Council is a venue for deeper understandings, friendship development and cooperative action; it is not for proselytizing or party-politics activism.
