Dear Wedding Goddess:

My husband-to-be is a different faith than me. He is Jewish and I am Christian.

I am very used to holiday services, but he is uncomfortable coming to a church. Is there a neutral place to go in New York City? It would be nice to also find out about other traditions and to expand our horizons. -- Maureen

Dear Maureen –

Luckily, NYC is home to a number of wonderful ways to blend yours faiths and enjoy non-denominational and interfaith spirituality together. I will be sharing more on this in months to come.

For a lovely Sunday service, try the Community of Peace and Spirituality, headed by my colleagues Rev. Allan Lokos and Rev. Susanna Weiss, founders and spiritual directors. They are a husband and wife team of ordained interfaith ministers and they welcome everyone with open arms.

This is a unique, friendly and joyous Sunday service. It is also a chance to take time out to reflect and relax. They usually feature a powerful interfaith prayer and meditation, a speaker who shares insights on a different faith or spiritual practice each week, as well as an often humorous and always inspiring homily called “One Minister’s Thoughts.”

Each Sunday they create a beautifully balanced environment in which people of all faiths can gather and share a sacred experience. The service honors the world’s great religions and spiritual paths and in doing so makes everyone feel included. This is not a “church” per see, so your fiancé should be quite comfy there, yet it is structured like a worship service so you will feel at home as well.

The Sunday morning gatherings of celebration, meditation, and prayer are from 11:00 AM to 12 noon at the Community’s new home, 593 Columbus Avenue, corner of West 88th Street.

This service is perfect for people who consider themselves “spiritual” but not very religious. “The Community of Peace and Spirituality is a place for those who long for a deeper sense of the spiritual self and have not found it in traditional religious dogma and practices,” the ministers explain.

“Individually and collectively each person discovers the truth of their own path. An Interfaith perspective guides the Community where all are invited without regard for race, creed, color, age, gender, sexual orientation, economic, or social status.”

Prior to becoming ministers, both Rev. Allan and Rev. Susanna enjoyed successful performing careers on Broadway, in concert, and in dance, so they bring a wonderful touch of music and dance to their services.

Many blessings,
