Religious Pluralism in the Middle East & Global Contexts Project - ACMCU

In an era marked by unprecedented encounters and escalating tensions between diverse faiths and cultures, the challenge of building genuine pluralism—an active, courageous engagement with difference—stands as one of the most urgent and hopeful tasks of our time. This project seeks to explore religious pluralism through the case study method, a pedagogical approach that brings […]

No more Islamic conservatism, Islamic fundamentalism, and Islamic exclusivism. All Muslims must be moderate, tolerant, modern, and pluralist. May Muhammadiyah continue to progress and contribute to Indonesian society.

One of the great challenges of pluralism is letting others use their own vocabulary to describe themselves and then engaging those vocabularies rather than suppressing them.

The various supremacies that suffuse our cultures—along lines of gender, race, sexuality, religion, class, and others—have a habit of sneaking in around the edges even when we want to disrupt them.

Take, for example, theologian Paul Tillich’s idea that everyone’s ultimate concern should be called god.

Choosing the term god for others is not engaging with the full range of religious and nonreligious vocabularies through which pluralism thrives.

“You are this. You are that.” No. We are people trying to work in coalition, each with the agency to describe their own identities and the forbearance to respect differences among them.

Trump & The MAGA Movement as Anti-Christ: A Handbook for the 2024 Election — Welcome from Matthew Fox

The archetype of the Antichrist has been mostly invoked by fundamentalist Christians.  This book turns the tables by holding it up to help name the current battle of democracy vs. theocracy and of lovers of the Earth vs. deniers of climate change in our time.  This powerful archety

I'm excited to announce that during the Spring 2025 term, we will be launching a dedicated Religious Pluralism case study website on the Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, Georgetown University website. It will showcase select case studies by my former students that were originally submitted as class assignments. We have some excellent case studies that are presently being revised. #religiouspluralism #interfaithrelations

The #SatanicTemple is known for trolling the #ReligiousRight, but in its fight for #ReligiousPluralism, it's become a powerful foe.

"The #Constitution is unambiguous about this,” Greaves said. “You just cannot take a religious identity and cut it out from a public accommodation. It’s against the law, the school districts will lose."

The Satanic Temple is taking on Christian nationalism in schools

The Satanic Temple is known for trolling conservatives. Now it's challenging the push to place chaplains in schools by vowing to send its own ministers.

Any progressive anti-caste, egalitarian, genuinely pluralist Hindus, South Asians and supporters out there? Please follow Hindus for Human Rights: @h4hr

Their mission is to provide a Hindu voice against the narrow bigotry of the Hindutva agenda. This is badly needed!
