Welcome To Gathering Ways
Our Purpose is the creation and promotion of communities that encourage all members to learn about themselves in relation to the complex social and cultural issues associated with ethnicity, race, religion, culture and class. Our duty is to promote links to share our experiences and expertise to provide a system of support that celebrates diversity and cooperation while simultaneously teaching individuals to advocate for themselves. Our goal is to develop programs that meet the educational and social welfare of all of our citizens, endeavoring to foster greater understanding and build caring connected communities.
About US
Historical evidence records devastating consequences when individuals, civilizations, nation, and communities are unable to forge stable relations between diverse religious, ethnic, and racial populations.
Acknowledging these dictates of history requires us to make every effort to build bridges rather than walls and understanding rather than distrust. We recognize that today’s thriving communities are those who have successfully integrated diverse ethnic, racial, religious, cultural and class populations into masterpieces of social order that emerged from successful resolutions of creative conflicts.
The successes of these high-performing social orders are the result of multi-level and multi-disciplinary efforts. We endeavor to look at each individual as a definitive contributor to this process, whether through disturbance or as a definitive contributor. This will be a multi-dimensional task: “A Gathering of the Ways.”
