Burke Presbyterian Church has been involved in an Interfaith Thanksgiving Worship Service since 1984 with our Jewish neighbors of Congregation Adat Reyim. Some years later St. Mary’s of Sorrows Roman Catholic Church joined us and more recently the Muslims of Rumi Forum.  This service takes place on the eve of Thanksgiving Day on a rotating basis in our different Houses of Worship and with a different clergy person giving the Thanksgiving message each year.
In addition we have had special services and seminars.  Most notable was a Prayer Service in response to the horrific events of 9/11/01.  We gathered together that very night for prayers, scripture readings, music and the blowing of the shofar!  
We also had a special seminar with Washington Post writer Laura Blumenfeld, the author of Revenge: A Story of Hope. “'An eye for an eye'  or 'turn the other cheek'?” is the question with which Blumenfeld wrestled for thirteen years after her rabbi father was shot (not fatally) in Jerusalem, and it is the question she answers in Revenge.  We had a very lively discussion.
We now have an on-going interfaith dialogue group called “Peace by Piece.”  Started with a real desire to do something positive for peace in the Middle East, the group is made up of members from Congregation Adat Reyim, the Rumi Form and Burke Presbyterian.  We meet monthly from September through May for dialogue on our various religious traditions, to experience worship of each of our traditions and to build friendship.  We do a fall concert to support two organizations -- Parents Circle-Families Forum and The Interfaith Encounter Association-- that bring together the peoples of the Middle East in the spirit of peaceful coexistence.  These organizations provide avenues for working together towards mutual respect, understanding of each others’ world views, and reconciliation.
