Membership
Membership is open to any adult (18 or over), of any tradition, who is willing to work in an interfaith environment, respect traditions not their own, encourage each person to find the faith that moves them, and diligently seeks to create a world of harmony and justice.
Children are welcome to participate in any event with their parents or legal guardians, but are not voting members until adulthood. The cost for a child is $30.00 per year to be in the database, but they MUST have a signed statement from their parent or designated guardian to participate, and the parent or designated guardian must be present at the event.
Membership is self-selected. Membership induction is by actually showing up to an event and involving yourself in activities and being a part of the process. We are a task-oriented association, encouraging all of our groups to go to our many activities. The start of new groups are always encouraged.
MEMBERSHIP DUES will help you to be involved. To share in forum and connect to the wider world, we ask for annual dues from individuals or groups.
Our annual dues are $60.00, prorated every three months, child membership is $30.00. Please note that PayPal charges an administrative fee, so the pass-through charge is $3.00. You may mail a check to Ecumenicon Fellowship, 3205 Kimberly Road, Hyattsville, MD 20782 with no admin fee.
Please note that renewals are for a full year, not part years. Though one can pay a part year when one first joins, the intent is to support throughout the year, not simply a small amount. Clergy in good standing are expected to be paid members (either annual or lifetime).
Dues can be paid at any business meeting, Fellowship-sponsored event, or any event at which Ecumenicon Fellowship has an outreach table (such as Darkover, Sacred Space or other events) or through the PayPal link below. This way we associate a name with a face and the fact that you actually showed up. You can also download a Ecumenicon Membership Form [MS Word 26K] and mail it in with your payment or with your PayPal receipt number (for renewals only) to

PLANNING
Ecumenicon runs as an open forum communicating mostly through our Web site and our yahoogroups forum. If you wish to teach, learn, communicate, create, pursue a spiritual or nature-based activity which you believe others would enjoy, do not hesitate to contact the Trustees and other members with a brainstorm. If it is within our mission, we will try to find a way to support you. Activities that have a monetary cost, or that require a space rental will have to have a clear presentation so that we can best review it.
The Trustees communicate almost daily, and we have various groups meeting in Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio meeting every week. Stay tuned.
