An interreligious conversation: Integral human development, human dignity and religious freedom

Outlined as a bottom-up, community-based approach, interreligious engagement sees religious actors working collaboratively across religious and belief divides, in partnerships with governments, international organizations and other civil society groups. Interreligious engagement is key to promoting both religious freedom and sustainable development. Experts discuss theological trends prioritizing religious freedom and interreligious dialogue.
