ii.  InterFaith Settlement

This InterFaith Settlement is an intentional community that welcomes the respective adherents of the many religious traditions of the World to live together in a mutually amicable and mutually dependent manner.  One of the primary functions of this InterFaith Settlement is to maintain environmental circumstances where there is continual, pragmatic interaction between the respective adherents of different religious traditions from which these respective adherents are able to progress, thrive, and prosper.  And the lessons from this pragmatic interaction are shared to benefit the aggregate of the respective adherents of the many religious traditions of the World as well as the international community.

It may be considered that the general notion of such an InterFaith Settlement has existed for some time.  Indeed there are examples of similar intentional communities predicated upon similar religious principles and/or similar religious and/or humanitarian cohesion including the Kibbutz Movement in Israel, www.kibbutz.org.il, Auroville in India, www.auroville.org, and the Global Ecovillage Network in Danmark and throughout Europe and the World, http://gen.ecovillage.org.  An extensive listing of intentional communities is included within the website of the Fellowship of Intentional Communities, www.ic.org.
