…commitment to the properly understood love of God and neighbor makes deeply religious persons, precisely because they are deeply religious, into dedicated social pluralists
Miroslav Volf, “A Common Word for a Common Future,” A Common Word: Muslims and Christians on Loving God and Neighbor, p.24
Pluralism is an intentional commitment that is imprinted through action. It requires deliberate engagement with difference, outspoken loyalty to others, and proactive protection in the breach. You have to choose to step off the faith line onto the side of pluralism, and then you have to make your voice heard
Eboo Patel, Acts of Faith
Our Unitarian Universalist “good news” affirms that God prefers the pluralism of a world of strangers to the uniformity of a sacred society…we are called to create holy communities where strangers are not only welcome but where all are enjoined to do the work of healing and transformation by wrestling with the strangers within themselves.
