This is planned, here, in two steps, viz., first, identifying the contributions of individuals & corporate, and, second, initiating the process of documentation of all that is involved in promoting tolerance and facilitating accommodation among the diverse religious and spiritual communities in a global village. Hence, this knowledgebase intends to include people, themes & concepts, fundamentals, sacred spaces, symbols, etc. |

Debbie HerringThis site is intended as a resource for those interested in the study of theology in cyberspace, theology of cyberspace and theology for cyberspace.
You'll find collections of links under each of these headings. There's also a section of links concerned with research method in this environment. There are links to some of my own lectures, essays and articles on cybertheology, and a personal page. Please note that this site has no connection whatsoever with the individual who posts as "Cyber Theologian" to various Usenet groups with an anti-gay, misogynistic agenda based on biblical literalism.
Most of Prof. Cowan’s major work has focused on two principal areas of interest: (1) religion and the Internet; and (2) a variety of issues related to boundary-making and identity maintenance in assorted religious domains—that is, how religious communities establish and maintain boundaries around different aspects of human life and behavior, how those boundaries are challenged and transgressed, and how transgressions are met and resolved (if indeed they are) by religious adherents.
JW WindlandJW Windland (James William Lawrence Windland (1949-2014) a comparative mythologist and founder of the Encounter World Religions Centre, an internationally recognized educational organization designated as a “Gift Of Service To The World” by the Parliament of World Religions in Cape Town, South Africa. JW has more than thirty-five years experience in the study, teaching and first-hand experience of world religions. In addition to his academic background in religious studies, JW regularly attends mosques, synagogues, gurdwaras, churches and temples as a testimony to his appreciation of world religions. This background gives JW a perspective that is unique and tangible. He has genuine friendships with these practitioners, joins in their rituals and introduces thousands of people to the winnowed wisdom of these diverse communities. Mr. Windland is a specialist in interreligious dialogue and in creating comfort across religious and cultural borders. He lectures internationally to universities, churches, and service and professional organizations. JW brings a familiarity and a deep knowledge of the many religious traditions that make up the North American mosaic.

"I believes that if we can learn to accept and respecpect the God given uniqueness of each one of the 7 billion of us, then conflicts fade and solutions emerge. Knowledge leads to understanding and understanding to acceptance and appreciation of people with a different point of view. Maintaining the equilibrium of society and the Universe is the most important value. Indeed, that may have been the un-stated, esoteric purpose of religion.
Paul McKennaPaul McKenna, MA, teaches, writes and consults in the fields of world religions and interfaith dialogue. Paul collaborated with a number of people in creating the Scarboro Missions Golden Rule Poster. Currently he functions as the Interfaith Coordinator for Scarboro Missions. He is the most productive and creative force in visualization, as well in dissemination of the true colors of the Golden Rule poster, and this is a point of reference for many world's religions today.

PS. Individual efforts are limited in many ways. In the selection of people, here, I have not been able to consider those whose (contributions are equally important, but their) work exists outside the sphere of cyberspace. I hope that some body (at a local, or global level) will visualize--in a physical space--such A Multifaith Hall of Fame. And, in that space, geographically map these contributions on the basis of quantitative or qualitative measures. I will be very happy to be associated with such a global mapping project. Interestingly, there is no shortage of tools and existing Web-based aggregation tools simply need people support. For instance, among the quantitative data gathering and mapping printed works is Eugene Garfield's HistCite. This helps in indexing and mapping the knowledge in any domain. Join hands and we can collectively build effective and efficient knowledgebase and the posterity would not have to build the bridges from scratch.

I looked at the Blog, quite interesting, however I am not competent to comment on its contents, because the field is bit different. But, I know you have worked hard to develop the concept, and I am sure your likely future project "Multifaith Luminaries" will also be conceived soon. Please accept my best wishes for all your future endeavours.
With best regards,
Was-salam,
Sajjad
Keep up the good work.

I’ve added the Multifaith Hall of Fame to my links at SoMA. You’ll find it here, under “Non-Denominational”
Feel free to add SoMA to your links to, if the spirit should so move you!
Best,

Dear Prof. Krishan Kumar
Thank you for your suggestion. I was feeling the need for a name index. And, I was looking for a visual or graphic tool for this. In the absence of any such tool, I have stopped waiting. I just added a name index. Subject index is, another issue. I tried technocrati.com - http://www.technorati.com/?cc=6zrtgyzjcz. I have a technical problem using this tool (because I wish to get tags for each name and subject in the Hall).
Best, Mohamed Taher
Congratulations on a wonderful site. You are breaking new ground.
All the best and kind regards,

This is very useful for our program of comparative study of religions.

Hey Mohamad!
This is great!
So when I get my Portal running we can inter-link if you wish!
I grew up near the Scarborough Mission, and I see you have it listed. I spent alot of time there playing tennis against their handball court.
The Sisters used to come and play with us sometimes. I purchased my prized violin at a charity sale at the mission, when I was nine years old.
I appreciate the note and I did put a reply in my comments. But I think the link I recommed, you might already have.
I will keep comin back.
I will write about you in the future.
Lynn
Thanks Lynn.
I did get permission from both the sites you suggested. See in the Hall for Bruce Robinson of relgioustolerance and Paul McKenna of scarboromissions.ca
Thank you for the synchronous and so kind comments. Best, Mohamed
