The Hyde Park and Kenwood Interfaith Council (HPKIFC), formed in 1911, is an association of religious and spiritual communities, seminaries and service organizations which intentionally cooperate to foster just and compassionate relationships and interconnections.  This is done by:

  promoting mutual understanding and respect through interfaith experiences of sharing, dialogue and learning;
  seeking peace and healing for Hyde Park and Kenwood and the world by strengthening and supporting community service and social and environmental justice efforts.

HPKIFC annually organizes a community Thanksgiving Day Worship Service at Rockefeller Chapel, administered the local hunger programs for over two decades, and is currently in the process of doing strategic planning around 1) Building Interfaith Relationships, Education and Communication, 2) Healing Relationships in the Community and World through Social Service and Social Justice, and 3) Outreach to Member Organizations and Building Infrastructure and Organization
