North American Interfaith Network

North American Interfaith Network

"The main focus of NAIN’s is to support the growth of interfaith understanding by supporting the work of member organizations. NAIN chooses the term “network” to describe its work rather than institution, organization or association.

"NAIN was envisioned by a group of leaders from existing interfaith organizations in the US and Canada from 1985 to 1987. In 1988, a North American Assisi, hosted by one of the oldest interfaith councils in the US, Interfaith Ministries of Wichita, Kansas, came together as the birth of NAIN and the first NAIN conference.  In 1990, at the second conference in Seattle Washington, a constitution for NAIN was approved.  NAIN was incorporated as a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization in the State of New York."
