The speakers discuss the value of pluralism and provide examples of how people can engage in pluralistic conversations, such as through faith dinner parties and interfaith initiatives. They highlight the importance of asking good questions and understanding others' motivations and worldviews.
The project of pluralism promises inclusiveness, tolerance, and peace, but it rarely satisfies. At a Veritas Forum from Harvard, Diana Eck (Harvard) and Vinoth Ramachandra (IFES) discuss the nature of pluralism and the challenges that keep us from genuine dialogue. How can we maintain our deepest core beliefs while also engaging with the beliefs of others? This Forum event from our archives occurred on 5/9/2012.
