Activities

We are blessed to be part of the course of human history in which people are able to travel and communicate faster and easier than ever before.  CECF believes that the blessings of technology and mobility should be used to facilitate programs that will help to eliminate ignorance of the "other."  The activities are diverse throughout the year and include:

Short Exchange Programs involving professionals, clergy, law enforcement personnel and students.  Topics discussed each year are different!

Cultural Orientations to enhance the understanding of religious and cultural issues of exchange students, host families, and staff members.

National & International conferences, symposiums and seminars involving scholars from various backgrounds.  Educating people about the common roots of traditions is one of the most important focus' of our activities.  Learning leads to better understanding, which in the end leads to mutual appreciation and peace.
