Diversity & Community

In 2002 and 2003, Religions for Peace - USA engaged in one of its most wide-reaching dialogue initiatives. Over the course of the two-year Diversity and Community Project, RFP-USA visited eleven communities to hold local dialogues, discussing the changing face of the American religious landscape and the issues that resulted from this change. During this time, RFP-USA worked with over fifty-five local interfaith groups and representatives from coast to coast.
