Greetings,
The Interfaith Center of New York (ICNY) requests your assistance in completing a survey. ICNY is undertaking a strategic analysis to ensure that it continues to provide support for the diverse communities and stakeholders that it serves, and maintains a strong and effective public role. Your prompt response will help us refine our mission statement, assess our current programs, and determine whether there are unmet or under-met needs in the community that the ICNY is uniquely positioned to address. The survey will take 5-10 minutes. Please complete the survey by November 5 if possible, and feel free to forward the survey to others – we would like to hear from a diverse audience. For those who don’t know the Center well, we included some introductory text below.
Thank you and we look forward to hearing from you.
The Rev. Chloe Breyer

Meyer Retreat on Social Justice for religious leaders from different faiths, our recent programs have included Training Religious Leaders in Domestic Violence Prevention (2010–), Catholic-Muslim Community Development Initiative (2010–), Debate in the Neighborhood(2012–), Religious Worlds of New York: Teaching the Everyday Life of American Religious Diversity (2012–), and Reentry Family and Faith Circles of Support with the Harlem Community Justice Center (2012). ICNY’s impact internationally has grown with the James Parks Morton International Sister City Exchange (2008) between New York City, Barcelona, Spain and Glasgow, Scotland and the educational visits we have received from over 72 U.S. State Department-sponsored Visiting Leaders from 38 countries over the last three years.
