“I do not think the primary task of interfaith work is to circle religiously diverse wagons more tightly around particular political positions or theological viewpoints. I do not believe it is the primary purpose of interfaith cooperation to widen what are already deep and dangerous divides. I believe the central problem interfaith work seeks to solve is this: How are all of us, with our beautiful resonances and our deep disagreements, to share a nation and a world together?”
