Introduction

As with any aspect of the life of the Church, it is important to periodically step back, pause,  and reflect on the context we find ourselves in. In the area of interfaith and interreligious relations this is uniqely necessary.

To that end, the staff and Coordinating Committee of Faith, Worship, and Ministry has created this survey on local Anglican engagement in interfaith/interreligious relations. We want to hear from you about the opportunities and challenges of dialogue and cooperation with people of other spiritual and faith traditions where you live and work and worship, and about what kinds of supports and resources might be most helpful to you in that. We thank you in advance for your contributions to our ongoing discernment in this area through participating in this survey.
