A Texas pastor wants evangelicals to forge ties with Muslims and Jews. Will they listen?Plus India’s religious headwear ban and more headlinesHi ReligionUnplugged readers, The Multi-Faith Neighbors Network is a group co-founded by a Christian pastor, a Muslim imam and a Jewish rabbi. Their goal is to increase cooperation and understanding between the Abrahamic faiths and advocate for international religious freedom. Co-founders Bob Roberts Jr. and Mohamad Magid are upfront about their plain theological differences, yet they treat each other like brothers. These bonds between leaders and faiths are the focus of today’s top story by Chris Moody. On March 15, an Indian court upheld a state “hijab ban,” which could spark similar rulings against the Muslim minority by the ruling Hindu-first BJP party. It has sparked protests, with some female students who are told they can’t take their exams if they remove their hijabs — leaving their hijabs on regardless. See you next week!
