Tis the season for interfaith thanksgiving prayer services.
It’s seems that there’s more every year. The Chappaqua Interfaith Council will hold its 4 p.m. service at Temple Beth El of Northern Westchester on Sunday.
The Brewster/Carmel Clergy Association will hold its ecumenical service at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Brewster on Tuesday (Nov. 25) at 7 p.m.
The Interreligious Council of New Rochelle has a big one every Thanksgiving morning. This year it’s at 9 a.m. at Trinity St. Paul’s Episcopal Church.
And there are several others.
Bringing together people of different faiths for prayer services can be a tricky matter. But Thanksgiving is probably the ideal time to give it a try.

The world of religion, we don't have to tell you, is vast. The purpose of this blog is for Stern to note, flag and comment on some of the more interesting religious developments on the scene – weighty and quirky, somber and laughable, far away and just down the road. He won't interpret Scripture, take sides in conflicts or judge anyone. But he will take advantage of the journalist's license to observe.
