Images from IFFP The Interfaith Families Project of Greater Washington (IFFP) is an independent community of interfaith families and others committed to sharing, learning about, and celebrating our Jewish and Christian traditions. It is the only interfaith organization of its kind in the country.

Now in our second decade, we have grown to over 110 families from Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. It's a place where both Jewish and Christian partners can feel like equal members of the community; where both can celebrate and learn about both faiths and where we "teach not preach."

IFFP seeks to develop our children, ourselves, and our community in an environment that encourages questions and respects different answers. IFFP provides opportunities for education about Christianity and Judaism, holiday celebrations, fellowship, spiritual gatherings, community service, and exploration of interfaith identity.

IFFP Cemetery Update

Although not often thought about, and less often talked about, how we bury our loved ones in interfaith marriages can be a frustrating and complicated endeavor. But, we are now within a few plots of being able to open the IFFP Interfaith Cemetery.

Find out more online, and let David Quigley know if you're interested.
