(Updated Sunday, May 25, 2008) Originally organized in the autumn of 2002 to support the interfaith activists of Arlington, Virginia, Geotrees.Com's Interplan email group now serves faith- and interfaith-based bridgebuilders throughout the national capital region. Our mission is to support their work of outreach, fellowship and reconciliation, and to help bring the values of spirit and faith actively to bear in building a better world.

Interplan welcomes news, notes and knowledge from likeminded people, groups and congregations - conventional and unconventional - from throughout the Baltimore / Washington region. We'd particularly like to hear from those working with young people, and with those building bridges between poorly understood and the more "mainstream" faith traditions, in behalf of understanding, reconciliation, justice and peace.

Interplan became an open group in the spring of 2008. You no longer have to subscribe to enjoy the group. With OPEN POSTING, anyone may send messages to it, and anyone may visit our OPEN MESSAGE ARCHIVES and read posted messages at any time. (However, to receive mails automatically, you must still subscribe.)

To post to the group, simply send your message to: "interplan AT yahoogroups. com" at any time. This is a moderated group.
