Interfaith Panel: Faith Communities For a Better World | 14th Annual MAS-ICNA Convention

Author, Brian D. McLaren once asked, “Why did Jesus, Moses, the Buddha, and Mohammed Cross the Road?” then briefly yet meaningfully answered, “so they could cross together” and thus giving the Interfaith community directive. The Qur’an reminds us in the following verse –“To each (religious community) there is a goal to which it faces; then strive all together towards all that is good...” Qur’an [2:148] Cooperative relationships must be cultivated and maintained between people of various faiths to ensure human rights, address poverty and income inequality, counter racism, hate and violence, and even combat climate change. This goal cannot be achieved if we stay behind our fences, isolated in our communities or unwilling to cross that proverbial road together. ​
