Promoting peace, acceptance, and tolerance in a multicultural society hinges on education and understanding of various faiths, cultures, and traditions. It’s crucial to recognize that harmonious living does not require agreement on all beliefs.
How can we promote inter-religious peace, acceptance, and tolerance within our constantly changing and multi-cultural society?
Coexistence is attainable within our society and not impossible to acheive
We must meet unfamiliar cultures and beliefs with open minds, the media is not an accurate portrayal of religions, cultures, and nationalities.
Education & Understanding of different faiths, cultures, and traditions is vital to further advance religious unity within a community of various cultures.
Understand that faith is a sacred thing to many people; it can be a large part of their identity.
Continuing to divide and isolate members of our society whose beliefs do not align with ours will directly affect initiatives to create inter-religious harmony and tolerance. Instead, we should be welcoming.
We must acknowledge that you do not have to agree upon different beliefs and faiths in order to live harmoniously among each other.
Participate in community peace-building initiatives to promote acceptance among members of the society.
