Living Interfaith
Living Interfaith Church is a religious unity founded by Steven Greenebaum and based in Lynnwood, Washington, which embraces the teachings of all spiritual paths that lead people to seek a life of compassionate action.[1]
Interfaith, as a faith, does not seek to discover which religion or spiritual path is “right.” Rather, it recognizes that everyone is brother and sister, and that at different times and different places we have encountered the sacred differently.[1]
General information
About the religion
Living Interfaith Church celebrates differing spiritual paths. They claim that what is the same in every religion is the call to compassion, the call to think beyond ourselves, and to recognize that we are all connected. Interfaith “calls upon us not to ignore our differences, but to rather to respect them, and to realize that each of our paths, in their own special and different way, call us to love and to be loving”.[2]
About the founder
Reverend Steven Greenebaum, the founder of the Living Interfaith Church, grew up as a Reform Jew in suburban Los Angeles.[3]
He earned a Masters degrees in Mythology, Music and Pastoral Studies. His experiences directing Jewish, Methodist, Presbyterian and Interfaith choirs have helped him to understand the profound wisdom of many spiritual traditions. He has dedicated his life to working for social and environmental justice through a multitude of forums.[4] When asked about his entity, he said: “My faith is Interfaith. My spiritual path is Judaism. My tribe is Humanity. I’m also a minister, choir director and vegetarian.”[5]
In 2012 he published his book through New Society Publishers: The Interfaith Alternative: Embracing Spiritual Diversity.[6]
