Our Mission
Social change begins with local leadership. When leaders are equipped with knowledge, communication skills, and support networks, they can interrupt bias and hate in their communities
-
- We bridge bias by countering disinformation and fear with facts, empathy, and personal relationships.
-
- We build unity by bringing people from different wisdom traditions together around shared values.
-
- We support social justice by teaching leaders, individuals, and groups how to be authentic allies and work together for social change.
Go and Do Likewise – Following Jesus into our Common Humanity
In his latest book, Paths to Understanding’s executive director, Reverend Terry Kyllo, tells the story of his journey out of white Christian Supremacy and responds to the question, “Is it okay for faithful Christians to be in relationship with other religious traditions?”
-
- Rev. Kyllo writes:
“I was born into White Christian Supremacy. But I was not born for it. You weren’t either. The Creator has more beautiful ways for us to live and is restoring what was taken from us. Jesus invites his followers to take the long, painful, joyous, and healing journey of daily baptism to find our identity among all the Creator’s children, all made in God’s image.”
