Our Mission

The Interfaith Alliance is a national non-partisan, ecumenical organization committed to three main goals:  promoting the positive role of religion as a healing and constructive force in public life,  encouraging the renewal of values within our families and communities,  and providing people of faith with an alternative voice to that of the radical religious right. TIA believes that religion best contributes to public life when it works for reconciliation, inspires common effort, promotes concern for the less fortunate, and upholds the dignity of all human beings. Because we affirm both the plurality of religious voices and the strength that diversity brings to our national life, we publicly challenge any candidate or political organization that explicitly or implicitly claims to speak for all people of faith. We encourage the active participation in the political process by people of faith, and all people of good will. However, we insist that truthfulness, civility and compassion should always characterize their words and deeds.
