Welcome to The Greater Lowell Interfaith Leadership Alliance

Mission Statement:

– The Greater Lowell Interfaith Leadership Alliance, GLILA , is open to and welcomes leaders from
diverse faiths within the Greater Lowell area.
– Our unity is based on our shared purpose of building relationships of mutual respect among the
members, the communities they represent and area faith communities.
– Our mission is to broaden our understanding of faith traditions and to support each other's work and
faith journey.
– Our commitment is to be a united force for spiritual and moral leadership and cooperation within the Greater Lowell community and to promote dialogue among the faith traditions.

Land Acknowledgement:

- As residents of Greater Lowell, we recognize the forced removal of Indigenous tribes and the colonization that happened in our immediate area, which continues to be home to native people from many tribes.
- We honor the Indigenous peoples of the past and we connect with those who continue to live here today. We
pledge to inform ourselves about the history of Indigenous Peoples, the policies of genocide by the American government, and the struggles and joys of native people today.
- We acknowledge our place as guests on the Indigenous lands where we now reside. We are inspired by Indigenous values, including: embracing the oneness of all creation, caring for the community, and being
stewards of the land, protecting its plants, animals, water, air, and soil.

Land Acknowledgement

“We are gathered in this virtual and physical place from various parts of Turtle Island, connected by technology; faith; a common sense of purpose; the breath given us by the breath-maker, who has named and called us here; and the very piece of Mother Earth – the land – that each of us inhabits today. We understand the importance and necessity of our acknowledging the land and the original, Indigenous peoples whose creation stories are rooted in these places, who have lived on these lands throughout Turtle Island since time immemorial, and who were the first to love, pray, grow, celebrate, cry, drum, and sing upon the lands and places where we are located now.”
