Interfaith Today Show Notes

Welcome to the show notes for the podcast Interfaith Today. The purpose of this podcast is to highlight the work of the global Interfaith Movement. My name is Rowan Fairgrove and I've started this podcast because I see that there is wonderful, life-affirming work being done in the interfaith context. And yet, the mainstream media isn't interested unless there is conflict involved. I mean this podcast and this site to be a forum for the stories of hope and cooperation.

First Podcast!

Well, it didn't take until March! Friday I buckled down and got the first podcast cleaned up and ready to go.

This one is an introduction - to me and to the United Religions Initiative, Council for the Parliament of the Worlds Religions and the Interfaith Center at the Presidio. I asked my partner Kurt to read the preamble to A Declaration Toward a Global Ethic. I also mentioned the 1995 conference on the Global Ethic, Celebrating the Spirit and the A Walk Through Time which I walked at the 1999 Parliament.

The next podcast should be out in a couple of weeks and will feature a talk by Charles Gibbs, Executive Director of the URI, that I recorded at the North American Interfaith Network/URI North America meetings in August 2005. Hopefully I'll also be able to report on the recent URI electronic Meeting of Members.

Delay in initial feed

I had the best of intentions to release the first podcast of Interfaith Today back in November and the first podcast if mostly in the can. But life intervened in a big way as a family member became ill. I am now targeting March 1, 2006 for the first release.

The Interfaith Center at the Presidio has been taping their speakers for awhile now and is planning to offer those for this cast. So please stay tuned for interesting content once we get up and running.
