Forum speaker argues for beloved community of all faiths
 Interfaith
leaders are people who believe in pluralism and fight extremism, said
the keynote speaker at Student Forum 2009, a national United Methodist
leadership development event held this year at Centenary College of
Louisiana.
"Extremists say it's a Christian versus Muslim world,
or it's a Jewish versus Hindu world. Interfaith leaders work to widen
the circle, to build bridges," said Eboo Patel, a self-described
"theologically progressive" Muslim and founder and executive director
of the Interfaith Youth Core based in Chicago. The goal of the
institution is to build a global interfaith youth movement.
