The engagement of religious diplomacy within the United Nations
systems has become increasingly important for achieving the
Sustainable Development Goals. The editors argue that effective
religious diplomacy must reflect the great diversity of religious
and spiritual expressions within human communities. The editors
argue that this can best be achieved through a worldview shift
within the United Nations systems. Religious engagement in the
United Nations systems has been understandably constrained by
limited and formal organizational structures and conventions.
However, the existing patterns of engagement mitigate against the
very goals they seek to achieve. The editors argue that expanded,
yet measured, religious inclusion will strengthen social cohesion
in the global community. Contributors demonstrate how communities
become stronger when marginalized minority voices are included in
public discourse. The editors further argue that governance has a
responsibility to ensure a safe environment for this interaction.
The editors propose that the United Nations adopt the posture of
"loyal opposition", that is inherent in parliamentary democracies,
to serve as a guideline for expanded religious engagement. The
contributors advance this proposal with illustrations from multiple
contexts that address a diverse array of social problems from
perspectives rooted in theory and practice.
