ABSTRACT
This chapter takes the argument from the prior chapter and expands it to include broader implications and conclusions. The author is able to offer readers a new way of viewing previous writings and practices, and enables them to create new material that better meets the goals of Critical Religious Pluralism Theory (CRPT). The implications drawn are centered around three areas: higher-education policy and practice; research, theory, and teaching; and beyond higher education. For each category, the author presents situations in which professionals might immediately utilize CRPT as a lens through which to view their work. These examples directly use the guidelines for implementing CRPT presented in Chapter 4. The author concludes the book with a call for others to self-disclose both their own identities and their complicities around religious pluralism. She reiterates her goal of using CRPT to acknowledge the central roles of religious privilege, oppression, hegemony, and marginalization in maintaining inequality between Christians and non-Christians in the United States, and asks that readers help in continuing to change society along this axis of inequality.
