The Foundation for Pluralism

Studies in Religious Pluralism & Pluralistic Governance

2665 Villa Creek Dr, Suite 206, Dallas, TX 75234

 

ABOUT US

Our Mission is to encourage individuals to develop an open mind and an open heart toward their follow beings. If we can learn to accept and respect the God given uniqueness of each one of the 7 billion of us, then conflicts fade and solutions emerge.  We believe that knowledge leads to understanding and understanding to acceptance and appreciation of a different point of view.

NO MEMBERSHIP FEE - NO DONATIONS  - JUST GOOD OLE WORK

Membership is open to all who subscribe to the idea of pluralism, as enunciated in our Mission statement. We are developing a full program on Religious Pluralism & Pluralistic Governance, and are looking for research associates. If you are interested in actively participating in our efforts, please send an email Foundationforpluralism@gmail.com.

Our humble prayer;

  • Dear God, bless us with an open mind and an open heart toward fellow humans.

  • Dear God, help us remove the arrogance and ignorance so that love of our own faith does not become a basis for prejudice toward others.

  • Dear God, help us respect everyone's way of worshipping and honoring you, and

  • Dear God, help us with compassion and fairness, two of your primary attributes, toward fellow humans.

A few Organizations are doing great service to humanity on a global scale, in bringing freedom to mankind by facilitating an open mind and an open heart toward their fellow beings.

We welcome individuals who earnestly believe and would like to share the principles of pluralism with their friends and communities.

The following individuals are doing their share of working for a better world and have opened their hearts and minds towards all of their fellow beings. Even though we may speak out against extremism, it would be their acts not them. Our approach is with malice towards none, as Abraham Lincoln had once said.
