"How to Run Online Interfaith Dialogue" serves the primary aim of informing the practices of online interfaith dialogue by identifying and providing community-centric guidance on how best to bring faith communities together. We believe that the most successful dialogues occur when there are clear objectives, and attention has been paid to detail. Therefore, this manual, the pros and cons illustrated within it, and its overall analysis of power has been developed to ensure dialogue can occur equitably and fruitfully. We hope that this manual and others will be helpful to you and that you will enjoy exploring dialogue online.
