InterfaithNews.Net (INN) publishes articles from many different authors and sources. In choosing what to publish, our overriding concerns are: is it consistent with our mission of publishing positive and spiritual and religious news? Does it further interfaith work the world over, or otherwise promote the common weal? Is it non-partisan and more unifying than dividing? Thus while we clearly believe all articles here have value, the opinions and views expressed therein do not necessarily reflect those of the editorial staff, the United Religions Initiative, or other sponsors and partners.
In the interest of promoting dialogue and a diversity of viewpoints, a section for comments is made available in most articles — particularly those of an editorial nature. Readers are encouraged to provide feedback or further thoughts in this forum, as well as submit their own articles through the Contact page. Comments are considered to be owned by the poster; while we take no responsibility for their content, we reserve the right to remove comments that are abusive of others or infringe on copyright laws.
In no case has financial support been received for publishing specific articles. Advertisements that may appear on the website are clearly labeled as such. We are willing to except gratis copies of published material for review but cannot guarantee that we will publish a positive review. All advertising and/or referral fees are donated directly to interfaith organizations.
Contributing an article here means that you grant INN perpetual, non-exclusive serial rights to publish it at http://www.interfaithnews.net. You also acknowledge that INN’s editor has the exclusive right to choose whether or not to publish a particular article, and you grant the editor the right to edit submissions for formatting, spelling, and grammar. We will only make major editorial revisions in consultation with you.
By submitting an article or comments here, you also warrant that you are either the original author or are otherwise authorized to distribute the work. Any work found to be plagiarized or submitted in violation of copyright laws will be removed immediately. If you are the author, you may wish to submit your article under a Creative Commons license in order to clarify your distribution rights; otherwise, it is assumed that you reserve all rights due to you under international copyright conventions.
If an article of yours is rejected, please don’t be discouraged — feel free to continue sending new articles in the future, as long they are relevant to the intended audience and remain largely non-partisan (not showing extreme favor to particular political or religious groups).
The InterfaithNews.Net service ran from 2002 through 2006, hosting articles on the former interfaithnews.net website and distributing a periodical newsletter to a mailing list of a few thousand. The original database was lost due to poor management of backups. This version of the site has been restored in 2021 through careful extracts from the Wayback Machine with substantial stylistic reformating for consistency. No editorial changes have been made — all of the recovered text has been preserved.
Reacting to religious fanaticism and the challenges of advancing and sustaining a more equitable civilization, a global interfaith movement has sprung from the grassroots of religion and spirituality. InterfaithNews.Net (INN) seeks to chronicle this movement by focusing primarily on positive interfaith and religious news, events, and resources.
InterfaithNews.Net is presented in partnership with the United Religions Initiative.
