An article by John Patrick Herold exploring how interfaith-dialogue serves as an active expression of the Easter promise and the Baptismal Covenant.

Key Themes

• Baptismal Covenant: Grounded in the vow to "strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being" (BCP, p. 305).
• Paradox and Humility: Drawing on Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe’s 2026 Easter message, Herold notes that Holy Saturday's "paradoxical truths" teach us to sit with complexity, helping us encounter other traditions with humility rather than fear of diluting our own faith.
• Spiritual Grounding: Recommends monastic resources like the Society of Saint John the Evangelist (SSJE) daily reflections ("Brother, Give Us a Word") to cultivate the personal transformation needed for interfaith work.
• Parish Integration: Suggests incorporating interfaith conversations and collaborations directly into existing adult formation, spiritual growth groups, and social justice ministries.
