Interfaith Story Circle of Dutchess County, NY
This year marks the 5th year of the sharing of stories in the sacred circle. It began in 2004 when women told faith stories from their own faith traditions at the Dutchess County Jail. It features storytellers who tell a prepared story on a chosen theme and then open the floor for those in attendance who are inspired to tell a story from their own tradition on the evening's theme.
The Story Circles are hosted at different houses of worship so that participants can visit and learn about other sanctuaries of faith. Congregants of the hosting house are encouraged to attend and share their experiences. Over these years we have visited the Masjid, the Hindu Samaj, and the Buddhist Monastery in Wappingers Falls, the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in Poughkeepsie, as well as all of the Jewish Houses of Worship and many Christian churches.
