| About Us | |||
The Women’s Interfaith Institute was founded in the Berkshire Hills of Western Massachusetts in 1992 under the leadership of Allison Stokes. After Allison moved to New York, she organized the Institute’s Finger Lakes affiliate in 2002. Although the two non-profit organizations are incorporated separately, we share a common mission and our boards work closely together.

On March 5th, 2009 The Women's Interfaith Institute of the Finger Lakes suffered a devastating fire. The fire took place three days after renovations were complete. Our goal for our historic building is to restore it to its original beauty, while making it a functional and fully accessible center for the pursuit of knowledge, spirituality and community. Beginning August 1st, 2009, Sylvia Strobel assumed Executive Directorship of the Institute. She has exciting ideas for a new initiative that will compliment the Institute’s work of the past in bridging difference. Sylvia is imagining a new program- Our Location Inspired by the spiritual and religious diversity of our foremothers, who gathered together around the table to nourish body, soul and mind, we invoke our Seneca Falls heritage to move us forward together in promoting hospitality, interfaith dialogue, cooperation and peace.
