LEARNING TO LISTEN

For too long, people of faith have focused more on pointing out where other religions get it wrong. But this path only leads to arguments, debate, division, and often violent conflict. So, what if we decided to focus more on all the ways those other religions get it right? What if we took the time to listen more than we speak, and to learn more than we try to teach? This path might end up leading us deeper into understanding, connection, friendship and peace.

With this in mind, Quoir Publishing has partnered with Patheos to assemble voices from different religious backgrounds who have learned to listen to people outside their own faith traditions. We hope that the wisdom they share with us here allows you to become more open to the truth and beauty to be found outside your own faith community.
