How to teach religion in multifaith contexts is a growing concern for churches and religious communities everywhere. This interview presents a specific experience emerging from a multireligious context in Asia.

"Children from different religions can pray together in school," says Usha Jesudasan, a journalist and writer from India, where Christians, Hindus, Muslims and people of other religions live within the same local community. Jesudasan is committed to the concept of integrating interfaith religious and value education in schools to promote peace and harmony.
