The purpose of the Interfaith Initiative, as I see it, is to help people of different beliefs come to understand the beliefs of others and to come to recognize the common spiritual basis that unites us all. The Initiative is for those who want to understand the fundamental beliefs of everybody, including the beliefs of A. Shaw and Bill Clausen. Sometimes, however, the way people express their beliefs is so forceful that it actually produces the opposite effect of what they want -- it makes people NOT want to understand them. Sometimes, also, when people are so insistent on being heard, it is difficult for them to want to hear others. The Ramadan dinner is for people who want to understand others better and to search for what unites us rather than divides us. I look forward to the event.
