Passport to Understanding is a new initiative supporting Interfaith Philadelphia’s commitment to equip individuals with competencies for interfaith engagement, build authentic relationships of mutual trust and solidarity, and advance interfaith understanding in the public sphere.
Through thought provoking prompts and questions, the Passport to Understanding guides you in five
essential practices of an interfaith traveler:
Be Curious

Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and 2021 Dare to Understand Awardee, is a proponent of the Passport to Understanding!
This tool is for people seeking deeper understanding and connection in a diverse world. As you explore new faiths, new ideas, new cultures, new customs, and new awareness, know that this journey is not linear; it is filled with possibility, openness, discovery, and hope. We encourage you to keep venturing out. Discover new experiences and conversations, and reflect on how you might continue on this path.
HOW TO USE YOUR PASSPORT TO UNDERSTANDING
