The vast majority of young people in our society are ready to move beyond coexistence with persons of other faiths and persons of no faith to work in service with each other to create a more peaceful, just, and sustainable world. Check out the article at the link provided to see ways that young people in Oklahoma City are ready to go “Beyond Coexistence” as we prepare for a visit by the founder of Interfaith Youth Core, Eboo Patel, to Oklahoma City University. Oklahoma City is preparing to take interfaith cooperation and service to a new level. If it can happen in Oklahoma City, it can happen anywhere!
