The case for interfaith America with Eboo Patel

The case for interfaith America with Eboo Patel
Jonathan Woodward

On Feb. 3, 1943, the U.S.A.T. Dorchester, carrying 902 service men, merchant seamen, and civilian workers, sunk in the cold Atlantic Ocean. Among those lost were four Army chaplains whose rescue efforts became the foundation of post-war interfaith activism.  
 
Our guest today is Eboo Patel, founder and president of the Interfaith Youth Core. He sees the beginnings of a new interfaith understanding coming with the trauma and international struggle against the novel coronavirus.  
 
Religion News Service Editor-in-Chief Bob Smietana spoke with Eboo Patel for Beliefs.
No paywalls here. Thanks to you.
As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world. Thank you for reading and supporting RNS.
