Clergy Circle

The Clergy Circle of Friends of the Arava Institute is formed for the purpose of providing a broad and diverse body of North American clergy the opportunity to express their personal support for the ground-breaking mission of the Arava Institute.  The Clergy Circle is intended to mirror the Arava Institute’s mission of bringing together diverse populations, with the objective of disseminating information to and gathering the endorsement and support of religious communities throughout North America which are inspired by the Institute’s mission of environmental sustainability and coexistence.
