Hi Sari;
I helped facilitate an interfaith event in Connecticut back in 1999-& I think it was with some of the "founders" of URI?? Can't remember except that it was a new initiative that had started in. The late 90's.
As I recall there were about 15 of us present & we did the Open Space in the home of Patrice Brodeur, a well known Canadian figure in the interfaith world.
It went well though I seem to recall that both the timing & setting was not ideal- & for a number of reasons.
Cheers;
Marks

I don't know, off the top of my head, of a specific example of Open Space being used, but I have reached out to some of my colleagues to see if they do, and I will get back to you!

Every day, people like you and me are standing up for their neighbor, lending a helping hand, and building bridges across lines of difference. But, so often, the good stories go unheard and hate and fear take the headlines, leaving our communities full of fear. This is what the #TangibleHope campaign is here to counter! Get inspired by the stories of #TangibleHope on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. For more information, click here.
