Executive Committee Update
December 8, 2011
Statement for the Executive Committee meeting of the Independence
Ministerial Alliance.
Two points from the our Statement of Purpose:
To foster understanding and information about one another and our
various faith traditions.
To offer an avenue for the faith community to speak to issues within
the community when those issues need a faith perspective.
I ask that the minutes indicate that the Independence Ministerial
Alliance acknowledges the recent public interest in interfaith
dialogue prompted by the Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast of 2011.
Further, we support and encourage healthy public discourse on all
matters of faith in the City of Independence, MO.
Respectfully Submitted,
The Rev. Brian Morse
First Term Executive Committee Officer
