Considering Christianity’s Role in the Interfaith Movement: Interrogating the Potential for Hegemony and Privilege

Faith communities have been gathering for more than a generation as part of the interfaith movement. Across many traditions, specifically Christianity, Judaism, and Islam, interfaith dialogue has been a source of community building and friendship. But what about addressing deeper concerns not only theologically but across sociopolitical issues? This session explores a new way to approach the interfaith movement, something that the facilitator describes as “engaged critical pluralism.” In this new session, we intentionally align our work to intersectional frameworks of justice, ground ourselves in our theological imperatives to support equity, and seek to decenter ourselves as a pathway toward inclusion for all.
