Building Interfaith Partnerships: Strategies for Sustainable Collaboration

Abstract

This article examines how interfaith partnerships can be developed and sustained to advance peacebuilding, social cohesion, and collective action. It outlines the stages of partnership formation, from identifying potential partners and establishing shared visions to implementing pilot projects and ensuring long-term sustainability through communication, evaluation, and conflict resolution. The discussion highlights challenges such as cultural differences, power imbalances, and resource constraints, offering strategies to strengthen trust and inclusivity. Drawing on leadership insights and global case studies—including the Interfaith Rainforest Initiative, Abraham Path Initiative, and Religions for Peace—the article provides academics and practitioners with a framework for building resilient interfaith collaborations that achieve sustainable social impact.
