The greatness of our society is predicated on diversity, which requires mutual tolerance and respect among all races, religions, and ethnic backgrounds. Enhancing intergroup relations in Metropolitan Washington’s diverse communities is a major priority for the JCRC, which is particularly active in inter-religious, inter-racial, and interethnic affairs.

The JCRC strives to build strong relationships with faith, ethnic and minority communities in Metropolitan Washington and is engaged in both formal and informal dialogues with leaders in these communities. The JCRC is a board member of the Virginia Interfaith Center and a member of the Interfaith Conference of Metropolitan Washington and the Maryland Interfaith Legislative Committee.

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity (Psalm 133).
