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

The Interfaith community in Lake Oswego is aware, engaged and empowered to take action toward sustainability through partnership with the Lake Oswego Sustainability Network, which in turn recognizes and acknowledges the needs of this community in the fulfillment of its mission.

Goals

Create a network of faith organizations in Lake Oswego and the surrounding communities.
Offer quarterly Interfaith coffees.
Provide support and sustainability opportunities for our Interfaith community.
Provide support for local religious groups to demonstrate and improve sustainability practices through the Clackamas County Leaders in Sustainability certification program.
