Interfaith America: Integrating Pluralism into Teaching and Learning
Interfaith America has advanced a unique vision of pluralism (cooperation across differences), summed up in three words: Respect. Relate. Cooperate.
Respect-Relate-Cooperate serves as a North Star for pluralism builders as we seek to build institutions and communities where people regularly:
- Respect each other across differences
- Build mutually inspiring relationships with different others
- Cooperate on issues of shared concern.
