Religious Freedom

Young people are very enthusiastic about pluralism. Why isn’t that translating into action?

A year ago, Rabbi Shoshanah Conover became Temple Sholom of Chicago’s first female senior rabbi.

Rev. Dr. Gabriel Salguero is a co-founder of the National Latino Evangelical Coalition and a member of our Racial Justice and Religion Task Force.

Although these holidays couldn’t be celebrated this year in their normal ways, they still represented important values and traditions for many communities.

The Inclusive America Project (IAP) is pleased to publish our new report, “The Politics of Vulnerability: Can Muslims and Evangelicals Find Common Cause in Religious Freedom?”

Today is National Religious Freedom Day, the anniversary of the passage of the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, a statute written by Thomas Jefferson disestablishing the Church of England in Virginia, and an important precursor to the Establishment and Free Exercise clauses of the First Amendment.

Our goal is to walk together over a short period of time and construct a deeper understanding of how we might midwife hope and progress for the greater good of an inclusive America.

Rabbi Michelle Missaghieh is a member of the inaugural cohort of the Inclusive America Project’s Powering Pluralism Network.
