Overview
Mission
The MultiFaith Council creates opportunities for lifelong learning, spiritual development and community building to promote compassion, understanding and belonging in northwest Ohio. In January 2003, in the midst of preparations for the second banquet, the first MultiFaith Build, and the Trautmans’ MultiFaith wedding, IRC voted to spin off the interfaith/multifaith activities into its own organization. In July 2003 MFC held organization meetings to develop a vision, mission, and covenant. The founding committee developed a board, constitution, and by-laws and obtained non-profit status. MFC joined the North American Interfaith Network [NAIN] in 2003. Early association with the Rev. Dirk Ficca, then Director of the Parliament of the World’s Religions, provided MFC with developmental support. In 2015 the Parliament awarded MFC grant for social media and youth work. MFC has.
