NAEIS – General Information

NAEIS – the National Association of Ecumenical and Interreligious Staff – is an association of professionals working in a variety of interfaith and interdenominational ministries throughout the United States. It has its roots in associations begun nearly a century ago.

NAEIS serves as a resource for the professional development and personal enrichment of its members, empowering them to do their work more effectively and faithfully. Eligible persons may be employed by intercongregational, interdenominational or interreligious agencies. Persons employed by religious bodies of a single tradition (e.g. Christian communions, synagogue bodies, faith-based organizations, service providers, or community ministries) with ecumenical/interreligious responsibilities or concerns may also become members.

These links will bring you information about the Association, its history and its leadership.
