Grounded in the practice of interreligious resilience, this is a clarion call to collaborative action for a more socially just and environmentally regenerative world. It is an essential resource for interreligious leaders seeking catalytic ways to respond to social and economic inequality, ecological crises, religious supremacy, and ethnonationalism. We can undo patterns of religious supremacy and create resilient communities and forms of belonging sustained by creative vulnerability and interreligious engagement!
