Greenebaum (The Interfaith Alternative) is the founder of Living Interfaith Church in Lynnwood, WA. The Interfaith community views the great religious traditions (Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, and so on) as "spiritual paths" and unites to worship while honoring and celebrating the rites and feasts of each of these traditions, encouraging members to retain the faiths with which they arrived. This is a conception of religious practice that is very far from questions of geography, tribe, and family, which used to govern belief.
VERDICT This brief work, really a church-planting manual, may not be an obvious place to start for the individual seeker (that would be The Interfaith Alternative) but is the obvious place to turn for the curious who want to gather in interfaith settings.
