The i
Interfaith Calendar is an open source provision of
information. We believe in the peace making value of religious understanding and the
importance of clear and accurate information.
Development plans for Interfaith Calendar include the
following possibilities.
- Print formats of the calendar are being
requested. Money and personnel limits are presently being addressed. The
publishing of Portable
Guide to World Religions is a first step in the direction of print
formats for the calendar.
- Sacred date individual information pages. The
calendar format needs to be kept minimal and that limits information. Additional individual event pages
will allow for greater detail and more links to authentic information
sources.
- Advanced research into accurate information.
Religions like Hinduism and Christianity have literally hundreds of
sub-groups that have sacred dates depending on local and regional custom.
The lunar and solar calendar interpretations are unique to each tradition.
New religions are coming into existence constantly. This research is labor
intensive.
- Music of world religions Imagine bringing together
the greatest musical sounds that have been created by the human family.
Imagine an on line center where one could find the religious music of Asia,
Africa, South American, North America, Europe. As music moves from CDs and
DVD to the internet format we intend to be on the forefront as regards the
music of religion.
- The Interfaith Kitchen Imagine the sharing
of menus and recipes
from the many religious and cultural traditions of the world. Sacred times nearly always involve special foods. What a
pleasure it will be to taste the foods that please others.
- Authentic translation of various calendar
formats into most world languages. Presently a growing number of persons in
China use the calendar. Arabic speaking people try to use the calendar
English only version as do Hispanic and other language populations. The
complexities of religious ideas means that translating machines are often
inadequate. The cost of personal translation is prohibitive at this
time.
- Global conversation seminars on line can bring
together people from any place on the globe to share insights and
build relationships that change the world for the better. Video conferencing
and instant translation opens the door to real time conversation.
- The Interfaith Calendar for cell phones and
other personal assistant devices. People on the go want to keep up with sacred days
for their own benefit and in order to be thoughtful to customers and
friends.

We envision a world where:
....Resources are invested in
communication of accurate information about religions.
....Children experience spiritual
compassion by persons of all religious traditions.
....Religions grow into mutual
respect while recognizing differences
....The noise of 21st century life is
managed by developing alternate music and words.
