Unity in Diversity
The Interfaith Opportunities Network (ION) is a lay-led interfaith network based in Hampshire County, Western Massachusetts, seeking to strengthen bonds of mutual respect and understanding. We desire to learn from others’ faith traditions, rejoice in the many things we have in common, and appreciate our differences. We respond as inspired by our shared concern for peace, justice and the earth.
The Interfaith Opportunities Network (ION) is made up of 21 different faith congregations and campus ministries. We include Baha’i, Buddhist, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Quaker, and Unitarian communities.
