U.S. Engagement Should Model Principled Pluralism

By Dr. Chris Seiple on 27 September 2010

In a Christianity Today exclusive, Dr. Chris Seiple explores why it is in America's interest to use "practical, principled pluralism" to bring people together in Afghanistan and Iraq in his article, "Stay in Afghanistan? It's the New Normal." Dr. Seiple explicitly states the imperative need for U.S. military training on this issue as it is certainly not going away:

"It is in America's interest to train our military and government leaders in social-cultural-religious engagement. This kind of training is no panacea, but without it, we stand little chance of civilians learning from and taking over this role from the military."
