"If we are to respect others' religions as we would have them respect our own, a friendly study of the world's religions is a sacred duty." ~ Mohandas Gandhi

The Faith Alliance of Metro Atlanta (FAMA) took form and direction out of the dust and gloom of September 11th, 2001. FAMA expanded and elevated the interfaith dialogue work of its predecessor, the Interfaith Coalition of Atlanta, a group of clergy who had met monthly for 10 years for dialogue and understanding among their faiths.
The larger religious community had the desire but did not know how to conduct an interfaith service in response to the aftermath and pain of 9/11, so a committee of interfaith volunteers convened to develop a service for the following year. The collective effort of organizing the service inspired the creation of FAMA which would include all faith communities and the interfaith collation of Atlanta. The mission is to promote respect, understanding, prayer, interaction and unity among diverse faiths in the Atlanta region and to advance the influence and voice of the faith community for the common good. A diverse and representative board of directors plans regular bi-monthly assemblies for the public, which move from place to place to encourage interfaith experiences and awareness. In addition to hosting three annual September 11th citywide commemorative and interfaith worship services that inspired solace, reflection, forgiveness and hope, FAMA has organized and hosted 3-4 assemblies every year on various transforming issues and responsibilities.

Compassionate Atlanta is a grass roots movement that seeks to raise awareness about the benefits of compassionate action in the Greater Atlanta area. The Compassionate Atlanta Planning Team, which was formed in 2013, was instrumental in getting the City of Atlanta designed as a Compassionate City.
Initiatives: The Compassionate Atlanta Organizing Team has identified three specific initiatives that it intends to support in 2014:
“A compassionate city is an uncomfortable city! A city that is uncomfortable when anyone is homeless or hungry. Uncomfortable if every child isn't loved and given rich opportunities to grow and thrive. Uncomfortable when any group anywhere in the world is marginalized or oppressed. Uncomfortable when as a community we don't treat our neighbors as we would wish to be treated.” ~ Karen Armstrong For more information on Compassionate Atlanta visit their website: www.compassionateatl.com |
