Summary
While pursuit of interreligious understanding is itself an act of world repair, there are numerous efforts to engage spiritually diverse individuals and groups in common action for the common good. These projects include providing services within communities, messaging to change hearts and minds, organizing for systemic change, and advocating for policies to advance human and environmental flourishing. Chapter 12 examines the relationship of interpath engagement and social action, exploring different strategies for change and the issues that arise.
