Funded by Templeton Religion Trust, Wade Kusack of LYN Community Corp (LYNC) is working to establishing religious freedom by forming relationships with government officials throughout Central Asia. LYNC is focused particularly on Kazakhstan where the landscape for the next hundred years is being laid out with its governmental and religious leaders asking key forward-thinking questions.

What if religions engaged one another across their deepest differences?

What if young people felt more comfortable talking about their faith?
What if Americans could find informational and inspirational content online about faith traditions?

What if college campuses can serve as the impetus for a thriving and inclusive society?
What if simply tolerating other people’s beliefs isn’t enough to move the pluralism needle?
What if interfaith cooperation could lead to true and lasting civility?

What if African Christians and Muslims collaborated beyond their differences?
What if knowing more about the Islamic tradition of pacifism could combat jihadism’s growth?

What if faith leaders from multiple belief systems from different global regions came together under one roof to focus on religious unification?
What if respectful deliberations led to the removal of collaboration barriers?

What if 21st-century civilization evolved toward cooperative engagement across our deepest differences?
What if religious intolerance gave way to mutual understanding and respect?
What if religious differences could unite more than divide us?
What if religions and governments worked together to create a better society?

In the West we’ve come to view religion as either irrelevant or detrimental to how we tackle the global challenges of our age – but what if the opposite were true?

As a result of population migration, people of all religions are all places. And now that more faiths are represented in more regions, it’s imperative we learn how to relate to one another despite our differences. At Multi-Faith Neighbors Network (MFNN), we’re asking ourselves, “What if religions were leaders in bringing people of different faiths together?” And, “What if religions worked together to build resilient cities around the world?”
