Episode notes

i want to talk about a religious pluralism and its relationship to existing faith communities. i think youre, you're an expert on this. And oneof thethings i so value what you do is how much you do younow. You walk the talk. A, it doesn't even have any energy, frankly, or very little energy for like, you know, poy, how do we relate to buddhists? HowDo we relate to moslems? You know, they're tearing themselves apart right now.

This week Eboo Patel, a Muslim pioneer in interfaith work, joins David and Curtis to discuss his book, We Need to Build. They discuss the need to allow people of different faiths to be able to bring their whole selves, including real and significant religious disagreements, to these conversations. Eboo also helps us understand why it is so important to do more than criticize what we don’t like in the culture, but instead to adopt the more mature approach of actually building what we want to see in society.
