“I see religious pluralism as a foundational component of any flourishing society and a necessary ingredient of combatting the troubling division we see among Americans today. The One America Movement approach of harnessing the values and good that faith brings in helping us to engage difference with respect and confidence, honor agency, and build on human dignity is what we need to achieve unity and flourishing for all.”
