CEDAR

CEDAR is a global educational network enabling members of disparate communities to recognize and accept their differences as they work toward a civil society... CEDAR provides a laboratory for the practical pedagogy of tolerance and living with difference in a global society. Its goals are to produce new practices and understandings so that we can find ways to live together in our diverse but increasingly interconnected world-a world populated by people with very different political ideas, moral beliefs, and communal loyalties. Our main focus is on religion, as it is our religious identities that are our most exclusive and our religious communities that claim our greatest allegiances. Our programs take these very real, critical, and defining differences, especially communal and religious differences between people, as the starting point of a publicly shared life.
