Interfaith Icons Tell Story of a Religion That Embraces All Religions

THE NEW YORK TIMES
By Samuel Freedman

WASHINGTON---Steven Greenebaum rolled his Prius into a middle school parking lot one Sunday morning last month. He donned vestments adorned with the symbols of nearly a dozen religions. He unfolded a portable bookshelf and set the Koran beside the Hebrew Bible, with both of them nearby two volumes of the “Humanist Manifesto” and the Sioux wisdom of “Black Elk Speaks.” Candles, stones, bells and flowers adorned the improvised altar. They had come together with about 20 other members to celebrate the end of their third year as the congregation of the Living Interfaith Church, the holy mash-up that Rev. Greenebaum had created.
