Interfaith Collaboration on Wikipedia

revdave | 05 May, 2006 10:10

Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia based on the wiki model, in which anyone can submit, edit or update an article. That model of open collaboration is particularly interesting when the subject is religious. Since anyone can edit their own religious point of view into the articles, the texts evolve democratically into rich surveys of wide-ranging beliefs and perspectives – living documents of interfaith dialog-in-progress.

See their article on mysticism for a good example of such interfaith process in action.
