Interfaith
An important part of the Crossroads Tradition is interfaith work. By participating in the larger faith community, Wiccans and other Pagans show by their actions that theirs is a faith that deserves the same recognition and respect that the mainstream faiths take for granted.
An excellent example is our work with Interfaith Council for Peace and Justice, where members of the church have been involved in the Crop Walk as well as Climate Change and other committees. Most recently, our own HPS Aine Pearson was invited to speak at a press conference on the importance of creating strong legislation to prevent and correct climate change. A video can be seen below!
(Note: the applause is much louder than the speakers. Aine is about 15 minutes in.)
A link to the ICPJ webpage with more info, as well as a copy of the letter spoken of in the conference, can be found here. As a part of this initiatve, Crossroads was instrumental in contacting leaders of multiple Pagan faith communities and encouraging them to participate.
