The Christian and Interfaith Relations Committee (CIRC) of Friends General Conference sponsors dialogues and finds other ways for Friends to be active and involved in interfaith and ecumenical activities and in the broader Religious Society of Friends.
Addressing “that of God” in every person, the Christian and Interfaith Relations Committee (CIRC) attempts to promote mutual understanding, and to engender closer ties among those of differing religious persuasions. Whether it is within the family of Friends or within the wider ecumenical and interfaith community, CIRC participates in and creates opportunities for cooperation and understanding, thus giving expression to the leadings of the Spirit and faith we profess. CIRC coordinates FGC’s relations and communication with other religious bodies within and beyond the Religious Society of Friends. It recommends representatives to the World Council of Churches, the Parliament of World Religion, the Friends Committee on Scouting, and other ecumenical bodies, and an observer to the Friends United Meeting Triennial. (The Representatives Council appoints representatives.)
