While religion might be effective in managing the difficulties of life through providing a source of hope and a sense of belonging to communities, in doing that, it also has the power to depolarize societies, eradicate prejudices and emphasize transparency in our relationships. As people increasingly feel the need to practice their religious traditions in a post-Covid order, what should be the role of faith-based organisations and spiritual leaders in building trust across different cultures? What ideal dialogues should they have with their own communities, and with the leaders of other faith organisations and stakeholders to facilitate the emergence of intercultural trust at the societal level?
