The practice of interfaith - of different trust communities connecting and cooperating with each other - is little or nothing new. However, the type of interfaith activity, and the thinking about those who have an interfaith way of thinking, stretch well beyond mere speaking together and looking to go along. Interfaith has turned into a powerful drive for change during recent years. Most established trust customs have been challenged to consider their own unique viewpoints, while growing figures of men and women who shun traditional religions have found new neighborhoods to hook up with that have developed under an interfaith banner. In this particular innovative book, Clive Johnson explores the vast scope, motives, and assorted initiatives of those who've sought to foster interfaith romantic relationships. He considers the importance of such initiatives for individuals and for society, and talks about the problems and opportunities that have been provided to the long-established trust customs. By demystifying some myths in what interfaith actually is, the book offers a valuable entry point for anyone questioning what interfaith, interfaith ministry, and the so-called "interfaith movement", are about. It answers questions such as how interfaith is relevant for those moving into multifaith partnerships and neighborhoods, asks if the climb in interfaith activity calls for a new religion, and distinguishes often misinterpreted concepts such as pluralism, ecumenicism, and schism. The book includes an extensive list of resources, online message boards, podcasts, and guidance for finding out more in what is one of the main topics for religious and sociable development today.
