Who is your neighbor? A new interreligious project seeks to get as many Americans as possible to answer that question.
"We are a nation of Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, non-religious people, and more – we live and work together and we need to have faith in each other," stated Gurwin Singh Ahuja, a Sikh and co-founder of the National Sikh Campaign. Ahuja started the Know Your Neighbor project, unveiled at the White House on Thursday.
As a Sikh, Ahuja fears bigotry over his religion and is aiming to combat that by promoting simple dialogue between neighbors of different religious backgrounds.
The project was launched at a White House event, "Celebrating and Protecting America's Tradition of Religious Pluralism."
