Tolerance, Respect, and Pluralism: Changing Relationships in a “Multi” World

Tolerance of those whose beliefs, practices, or customs differ from one’s own is a minimum requirement for living in the contemporary world, as it becomes increasingly multi-cultural, multi-religious, multi-ethnic, and multi-you-name-it. What might be necessary to move beyond tolerance to mutual respect, and how might that move change our understandings of community in a pluralistic context? The Pacifica Institute Speakers Series presents Rev. D. Andrew Kille, Chair of the Silicon Valley Interreligious Council, speaking on “Tolerance, Respect, and Pluralism.”
