Steve,
I've been following the development of Interfaith Environmental Network via the great information resource AustinEcoNetwork.com (tip for Rosedale readers -- join their email service to get informed on what's shaping Austin...plus a great calendar of participation opportunities). The nurturing of organizations such as Interfaith Environmental Network will truly make difference in the collective impact that is possible. Congrats on the launch!

The name of the organization is The Interfaith Environmental Network. Its purpose is to rally people of faith -- any faith -- and their respective faith communities to live out the common call of environmental stewardship.
For more information about the organization, its mission, and our launch event/conference, and to register to attend the conference, please visit our website,
http://www.interfaithenvironment.org. By the way, our keynote speaker is a nationally recognized Rabbi/ Environmentalist... it promises to be very cool!
