Spiritual Gatherings for Women of Faith


"But now that so much is changing, is it not up to us to change ourselves? Could we not develop ourselves a little, and slowly take upon ourselves our share of work in love, little by little?"
--R.M. Rilke

Approximately three to four times a year, Interfaith Ministries for Greater Houston in partnership with The Boniuk Center for the Study and Advancement of Religious Tolerance at Rice University, in conjunction with a host congregation, bring women from the Greater Houston Metropolitan Area together for an evening of interfaith dialogue, education, and fellowship.

These gatherings provide a place of safe and respectful interaction between women of varied backgrounds, religions, and beliefs. Women who do not identify with a particular faith tradition, who are seeking to discern and develop their beliefs, and those who have questions about religion are also welcome and encouraged to participate. The spiritual gatherings help women connect with one another and seek to promote relationships that promote tolerance, understanding, and peace in Houston.

The evenings typically include a vegetarian dinner, music/meditation/prayer representative of the host congregation, and an educational program that fosters interfaith understanding. The gatherings are approximately two hours in length.

Previous gatherings have been hosted by Live Oak Friends Meeting House, River Oaks Baptist, St. Cecilia Catholic Church, Hare Krishna Dham, and the Zoroastrian Association of Houston.
