These are the 2016 participants in the 2016 Teen Interfaith Council Immersion trip to New Mexico.
(Excerpted from SEF.org)
Diane Fisher of the Jewish Federation of Silicon Valley and Deacon Steve Herrera from the Diocese of San Jose, both Co-directors of the Teen Interfaith Leadership Council of Santa Clara County, took eight interfaith teenagers on an immersion experience to Santa Fe, New Mexico from July 25-29, 2016. This group of teenagers enriched each other’s interfaith experience by sharing their knowledge and practices of their own religious traditions of the following, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and Sikhism.
This is the video link about the trip and the impact it had on the interfaith teen participants, Teen Interfaith Immersion Trip 2016. Rev. Jay Gibson, Vice President of Shinnyo-en Foundation and Temple Manager of the Shinnyo-en LA Temple introduces the video and explains the goals of this unique experience.
