Interfaith
Overview
The LOSN Interfaith Action Team was started to initially explore what sustainability efforts are currently ongoing within the Lake Oswego faith community. It has evolved to support individual congregational sustainability efforts and to promote interfaith collaboration around sustainability.
Vision
