    The Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray was a high school softball player when she first organized others to act on their moral outrage. A teacher had barred girls from playing third base, catcher or shortstop during gym class. Frederick-Gray enlisted the other girls in class to boycott phys ed softball until their demands were met.

    “We were threatened by the gym teacher with failing gym,” she told Religion News Service in a recent video interview. She answered, “You can fail me, but I’m not going to stop until we can play wherever we want to play.” The girls...

    September 17, 2020

    One hundred years ago on Sept. 19, the Indian yogi and guru Paramahansa Yogananda arrived in Boston as the Indian delegate for the Unitarian Conference of Religious Liberals. Yogananda’s arrival, along with an earlier visit by another Indian teacher, Swami Vivekananda, began yoga’s rise on these shores into a major industry, as well as one of the most significant examples of syncretism — a religious and cultural mashup — in the history of the West.

    Interfaith panel talk at Islamic Center of New England emphasizes knowing each other

    September 3, 2014

    Dialoging together was the theme of a recent gathering at the Islamic Center of New England on Aug. 24 called "Breaking Barriers while Breaking Bread."

    Mubin Shaikh, a Toronto-based interfaith activist and Muslin intelligence advisor, told a group of about 50 that unless different cultures can come together to talk, they should not call themselves people of peace.
