Institute For Religious Tolerance

Partnerships

At this time, we seek partnerships with churches, synagogues, mosques, temples, and other religious organizations and centers of worship and religious expression, hoping to rally the forces of tolerance, peace and justice, to combat the unseen enemies – apathy, hatred, misunderstanding, and fear.

By bringing the sentiments of religious tolerance and interfaith dialogue and collaboration — already known to those in academia — to the general lay public, together we can combat injustice and solidify peaceful coexistence as neighbors and ambassadors from our own religions to each other’s.

We seek to “evangelize” for the new creed: religious tolerance. We seek to bring this message of universal coexistence to all those who might not have heard of it, or experienced its lovely tones.

Through a variety of forms of mass media, through public lectures and talks open to anyone, through works of charity and compassion by our constituent members and organizations, we seek to demonstrate the humanity behind our religious traditions to those who had previously feared us and recoiled from us. We seek to make peace at a grass roots level, so that there will be nowhere for intolerance and hatred and fear to hide. We cannot do this without you.

Like shadows illumined by the light of dawn, we seek to abolish these enemies gently but swiftly. We seek to replace them with love, understanding, and cooperation. Together, we can and will do it!
