In The Interfaith Alternative Reverend Greenebaum shows us how we can celebrate each other without fear of losing our own identity. He illuminates the path to creating a nurturing spiritual community that honors and includes all religious languages. In doing so, he demonstrates that through coming together in a mutually supportive environment we can concentrate on our shared desire to remake the world into a compassionate, loving place. Whatever your spiritual path, chances are that the primary tenets of your faith include universal love, acceptance and compassion.  Yet three thousand years after Moses, twenty-five hundred years after the Buddha, two thousand years after Jesus and fifteen hundred after Muhammad, we are still divided by our differences. Religious intolerance, discrimination, even persecution and violence is the not-so-golden rule. At its core, Interfaith is about community and justice. Once we truly embrace diversity, we embrace our common humanity.  A powerful antidote to the current climate of fear and mistrust, The Interfaith Alternative argues that it is not how we encounter the sacred, but what we DO about it that counts - there are positive alternatives to religious lines in the sand. Widely praised by reviewers, The Interfaith Alternative is, as Bill McKibben has described it, “a timely and useful challenge to all people of faith.” Reverend Steven Greenebaum is an Interfaith Minister with Masters Degrees in Mythology, Music, and Pastoral Studies.  Steven has dedicated his life to the oneness of humanity, working for social and environmental justice though a multitude of forums.  Beyond teaching Mythology and directing choirs, he worked with Common Cause, and was the Founder/Executive Director of Citizens for Environmental Responsibility.  Steven’s articles calling for social justice have been published in The Seattle Times and The Everett Herald, as well as The Northwest Asian Weekly.  In 2010 he founded the Living Interfaith Church in Lynnwood, Washington.
