Peninsula Clergy Network

Donate to PCNThe mission of the Peninsula Clergy Network is to establish an interactive network of all clergy in San Mateo and Northern Santa Clara Counties in order to build knowledge, understanding and working relationships.

PCN promotes increased interaction between religious and civic leaders and the communities they jointly serve.

Key to the success of the PCN is the creation of a database, unique in the country, of the Peninsula’s 440 clergy and 350 congregations.

dialogue

The PCN has transformed the professional relationships among the region’s clergy and forged new relations between clergy and other civic leaders. Through the PCN, clergy of all faiths work with civic leaders in education, business, local government, and social services to address issues of importance to our communities.

In this work, the PCN does not advocate, urge a particular faith, or seek religious solutions to civic and secular issues. Instead, the PCN provides the relationships and framework for fostering awareness, understanding, and community engagement.

The Peninsula Clergy Network’s five ongoing initiatives enhance:

  • The tone of religious tolerance
  • The capacity and impact of interfaith collaboratives
  • The engagement of clergy and congregations in the community
  • The access to the faith sector by community partners
  • Multifaith awareness in public institutions and individual congregations
  • Clergy effectiveness and satisfaction

from The Magic of Dialogue
by Daniel Yankelovich
…when dialogue is done skillfully, the results can be extraordinary: long-standing stereotypes dissolved, mistrust overcome, mutual understanding achieved, visions shaped and grounded in shared purpose, people previously at odds with one another aligned on objectives and strategies, new common ground discovered, new perspectives and insights gained, new levels of creativity stimulated, and bonds of community strengthened.
