Honoring Our Neighbor’s Faith

AnnouncementsLeave a comment

All around us, in Park Ridge and beyond, is an abundance of religious diversity. Our lives intersect with neighbors and co-workers, school friends and sometimes family members too, who belong to other Christian churches or to communities of other religious traditions. How do we bring respectful interest to their practices and beliefs? How do we seek to understand their lives and perhaps to find ways to work together for the common good?
