History
The Salt
Lake Organizing Committee for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games
formed an Interfaith Roundtable in 1999. Its purpose was to
fulfill the Olympic charter, which states that the
organizing committee shall provide religious services for
the athletes. It took over a year for the
original mission statement and goals to be finalized and
approved by the committee itself. Forty five faith
leaders from over 22 faith communities joined together in
the effort to help welcome the world to Utah from a
spiritual standpoint. A chaplaincy program committee,
a faith directory committee, a legacy committee, and a media
committee were formed and began the process of creating
better interfaith workings than many had seen in the Salt
Lake area.
Out of this
work for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games came a desire to
continue the dialogue, friendships, and increased
understanding that had begun to form. The Salt Lake
Interfaith Roundtable has continued to meet and to date has
written and approved it’s new mission/vision statements,
bylaws, held the first election of officers, and formed
subcommittees to further its goals.
