Interfaith Youth Group Launches in SF
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of a new interfaith youth group in San Francisco, composed of members of the San Francisco Interfaith Council, and working to cultivate the next generation’s interfaith leaders and peace-makers. Please read on for more information, and see the contact info below if you’re interested in attending now or in the future.
What: The first meeting of a new interfaith youth group, bringing young people from San Francisco’s many faith communities together in a common effort to gain understanding of each other by working side-by-side. Specifically, the youth will explore issues of social justice as they relate to the story of Mirembe Kawomera “Delicious Peace” Coffee, from their perspective, and other’s, and work towards the planning of an interfaith youth delegation/service trip to Uganda in the summer of 2009.

Wow—great turnout this afternoon! Thanks to you all who came (we had about 20 participants together), and special thanks to Michael Pappas of the San Francisco Interfaith Council, Jenan Mohajir and Cassie Meyer of the Interfaith Youth Core, and the gracious staff at Cafe Gratitude.
I’m looking forward to seeing you all on March 20 when for our dinner with the farmers, and to organizing a day of service together later this spring. Stay tuned…
(and feel free to post a comment here if you have anything you’d like to say to the farmers—I’d be happy to forward the message!)
