Many North Americans that I meet complain that there’s little happening on the interfaith scene; organisations like Interfaith Youth Core provide evidence that good stuff is happening, but not receiving widespread attention.

At least Voice of America (not a source that I find myself visiting regularly!) found it interesting enough to run a story on the Interfaith Youth Core.
