The Response: Civility and Community
Mainstream religious leaders, prominent scholars, and other important public figures have
come together to form The Interfaith Alliance Foundation. Together we are affirming the
important role religion has played in American public life and we are educating folks about
all forms of religious and political intolerance. We are working together to overcome
ideological divisions and to counter the misuse and political manipulation of religion. TIAF
affirms both the plurality of religious voices and the strength that diversity brings to our
national life. We encourage the active participation in civic life by people of faith and all
people of good will.
At TIAF, our vision is a society in which different religious communities live together in
freedom and peace, and where citizens from diverse backgrounds participate in honest and
respectful dialogue about the direction of our nation. Drawing upon the values derived
from our many communities of faith, we envision a society that respects diversity and
values community.
