Living Interfaith

Living Interfaith is an Interfaith movement founded by Reverend Steven Greenebaum, 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 part of one family, and that at different times and in different places we have encountered the sacred differently.[1]

Overview

Living Interfaith 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 the call 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]

The movement views Interfaith as a faith that celebrates humanity's differing spiritual paths. It believes that a person's actions in this world are what count and that humanity is called to engage the world, both with compassion and with love. A stated tenet of the movement is to respect all faith traditions and not to ignore their importance or their differences. Christianity is acknowledged as being different from Buddhism. Islam is acknowledged as being different from Humanism, and so forth. According to the movement, the claim of Interfaith as a faith is that what is the same within all of humanity's spiritual paths is the call to compassion, to thinking beyond ourselves, and to recognizing that we are all connected.[2]

Greenebaum states that "interfaith, as a spiritual practice, can serve as a new model for how we deal with each other and a new vision for how we act on our religious beliefs to live compassionate lives and share the world in harmony."[3]

The Founder

Rev. Steven Greenebaum, the founder of Living Interfaith, grew up as a Reform Jew in suburban Los Angeles.[4][5]

He has Master's degrees in Mythology, Music, and Pastoral Studies. His experiences directing Jewish, Methodist, Presbyterian, and Interfaith choirs have helped him 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. When asked about his identity, he explained: “My faith is Interfaith. My spiritual path is Judaism. My tribe is Humanity. I’m also a minister, choir director, and vegetarian.”

In 2012, he published his first book The Interfaith Alternative: Embracing Spiritual Diversity through New Society Publishers.[6] His second book, Practical Interfaith, was published by Skylight Paths in 2014. His third book, One Family: Indivisible, was published by MSI Press in 2019. His website also contains more information about these books and his vision for Interfaith.
