Religious Perspectives on the Narratives of America: The Search for Just, Honest, Inclusive and Forward-looking Tellings

Narratives help us understand the world. They shape our identities, our aspirations, and our sense of purpose. They can offer or preclude hope. We need narratives of America that are honest about our history and current conditions, that are inclusive, empowering and forward-looking. We need narratives that help us find common cause across differences and build a shared vision of the future. In partnership with the US Bahá’í Office of Public Affairs, we are releasing  Religious Perspectives on the Narratives of America: The Search for Just, Honest, Inclusive and Forward-looking Tellings , edited by Rev. Dr. Audrey Price and Selvi Zabihi. Religious Perspectives is a collection of essays from contributors from Sikh, Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Bahá’í, Native American, Asian American and Pacific Islander communities, through the lens of racial justice and religion, inviting readers into a vision of America with forward-looking narratives.
