The Association for Religion and Intellectual Life
(ARIL).

A global network of people from various religious traditions who share a commitment to bringing into closer relationship the passions of the heart with the life of the mind. While the media publicize the extremism of a resurgent fundamentalism, the public is rarely informed of the creative ferment flowing beneath the surface of the great world religions. We seek to bring that creativity to light. Publisher of Cross Currents magazine for 50 years. Cross Currents Online provides "the very best thought and writing being done on the world's major faith traditions" as well as recommended resources for better understanding of religious traditions and the interaction between them.

The Institute for World Spirituality

The Institute for World Spirituality exists to promote communication, tolerance and most importantly, cooperative compassionate action among the religions of the world. Too often in history, religions have set themselves up over and against one another; their confrontations have ranged from debate and discussion to a spirit of competitiveness, intolerance and prejudice, and finally even to warfare and bloodshed. It is vital for the future of our world and the human race to enhance and encourage the opposite movement, inaugurated in Chicago in 1893 at the World's Parliament of Religions - a movement of understanding, opening, appreciation and cooperation.

INTERFAITH COMMUNITIES UNITED FOR JUSTICE AND PEACE

A broad spectrum of people of faith — representing most of the world's great religions — who are deeply concerned that the cries for retaliation for the terrorist acts of September 11 have led to war, draining our resources and distracting us from the work of justice at home.

Why we exist: To be an alternative voice to the current "war on terrorism." To proclaim that we will not bless war. To declare that we will not be silent in the face of an escalating spiral of violence and a voracious war-making system. To promote justice at home and around the world.

International Interfaith Centre

The International Interfaith Centre was inaugurated in Oxford, UK on 6 December 1993, inspired by the 1993 Year of Interreligious Understanding and Cooperation. As a result of the increasing amount and variety of interfaith activity around the world, it was perceived that a need could be met by an international, interfaith centre which was informed about all these different efforts and able to encourage continuing interfaith understanding and cooperation.

The Jewish Reconstructionist Federation

"We recognize a diversity of Jewish religious ideology and practice and seek to join with other Jews in accepting that diversity while working toward a shared vision of Jewish peoplehood. The Reconstructionist philosophy affirms the uniqueness of the Jewish people and its heritage among the peoples of the world. However, our affirmation of Judaism's uniqueness implies no sense of superiority over others. Reconstructionists believe that all peoples are called to the service of righteousness, and we welcome dialogue with people of good will from all traditions."

The Pluralism Project

The Pluralism Project was developed by Diana L. Eck at Harvard University to study and document the growing religious diversity of the United States, with a special view to its new immigrant religious communities. In the past thirty years, the religious landscape of the U.S. has changed radically. There are Islamic centers and mosques, Hindu and Buddhist temples and meditation centers in virtually every major American city. The encounter between people of very different religious traditions takes place in the proximity of our own cities and neighborhoods. How Americans of all faiths begin to engage with one another in shaping a positive pluralism is one of the most important questions American society faces in the years ahead.
