Upcoming CMM events
The July 13-20 Interfaith Youth Initiative (IFYI)
weeklong summer program is right around the corner! We are still taking
teen applicants ages 15 - 18. Held at Episcopal Divinity
School in Harvard Square, Cambridge, the transformative week for youth
leaders from Greater Boston communities will culminate
in a "Celebration of Transformation" on
Sat., July 19th. This Midsummer Fundraiser is a community cookout and
arts extravaganza featuring
IFYI's peacemakers and other local artists and performers. Bring your
congregation for dinner and come see what our young people have to say!

CMM takes action on Darfur genocide
While CMM's focus is local interfaith action for justice and peace, we recognize with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. that "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." CMM's Board has voted to join the Massachusetts Coalition to Save Darfur and to divest our funds from Fidelity Investments, in an interfaith effort to end the genocide in Darfur.
