The Guthrie Center

Arlo Guthrie, providing a place to bring together individuals for spiritual service, as well as cultural and educational exchange founded the Guthrie Center in Great Barrington, MA as an Interfaith Church, in 1991. Keeping with the philosophy of Woody and Marjorie Guthrie, for whom these organizations are named, the Guthrie Center & Foundation provide a place where we work with the issues of our times - Injecting ourselves into the bloodstream of humanity's best efforts toward a better world. The organizations are dedicated to all those around the world who believe that there is one truth and infinite ways to approach it. As the world becomes smaller we must find ways to embrace the spiritual journeys of those whose traditions are different, without abandoning our own. The skills needed for healthy future are different from the ones needed to preserve the past, and both are required to live in the moment.
