We, the members of the Wyoming Valley Interfaith Council, representing various Christian, as well as Jewish, Muslim, Hindu and Baha'i Faith traditions, and in celebration of Thanksgiving, give thanks for the rich cultural, religious, ethnic and racial diversity that makes up the fabric of the Wyoming Valley. It is this diversity that makes us strong in the face of any adversity or would-be divisive influence. The caring, supportive "blood" that sustains and enlivens our "Valley with the Heart" is all the same color! We further reject prejudice of any kind and resolve to work together with understanding and cooperation.

The Wyoming Valley Interfaith Council was established in 1977 by leaders of the Protestant, Catholic and Jewish faiths; to provide a structure that enhances and strengthens interfaith relations in the Wyoming Valley, by exploring and addressing the social structure of the civic community and the social problems within the region.
