Abstract
Religion is one of the greatest sources of division and conflict in our world today. Consequently, understanding religious differences should be an important goal of higher education, and the college campus provides a valuable learning laboratory for this purpose. In this issue of the JCC we focus on interfaith understanding and cooperation and explore ways to encourage greater student involvement in interfaith dialogue. We are very pleased to have Eboo Patel, president and founder of the Interfaith Youth Core (IFYC), and Cassie Meyer, director of content of IFYC, as guest editors of this special issue.
