This website is meant to contribute to the landscape by which Palm Beach County can move towards having the qualities of a "Culture of Peace" or the "Beloved Community" . We don't intend to invent anything, but simply to nourish human instincts already at work. Many people and organizations are wellsprings in our landscape; this is a way to learn about them and to find them. We are not political. We hold dear the values of responsibility, hard work and discipline that are sometimes said to be conservative values. We hold equally dear the values of compassion and empowerment that are sometimes said to be liberal values. Faith and faith communities are important in our social action strategies. We are compelled by the foundation in peace, justice and brotherhood of all our major faiths: Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Unitarian Universalist, Hindu and others.

"Faith in Action PBC" is a new community initiative whose purpose is to connect the deep gladness of members of our faith communities with the needs of families and persons in need, especially homeless families.

1. We provide an internet based communications tool comprised of these web pages and a facility for inviting assistance through tasteful use of e-mail as well as postal mail and telephone. We expect to increase our personal outreach to faith communities with visits and workshops with clergy, lay leaders and congregations. Our List of Faith Communities lists 1015 congregations. The list can be viewed by municipality and by denomination .
2. Our Database of Helping Agencies identifies other organizations who are likely to be our partners in this work.
3. We may develop our Community Calendar.
4. Click on "Web Links" to see how we might create a Database of Elected Public Officials
