ABSTRACT
The Center for Public Justice, a faith-based organization, has long promoted principled pluralism and catalyzed and participated in multi-faith/multi-worldview collaborative initiatives towards public policy development in a pluralistic society. These efforts require the development of cross-cultural religious literacy competencies and skills among organizational advocates and practitioners. Organizations committed to a pluralistic society must develop a pedagogy for and praxis of cross-cultural religious literacy. In other words, pluralists aren’t born this way, they must be formed this way. This chapter discusses how the Center for Public Justice undertakes cross-cultural religious literacy, sharing a model that may be adapted by faith-based and secular organizations advancing policies in the public and private sectors that result in a deepening and expanding covenantal pluralism.
