The Interfaith Youth Core has published a guide for encouraging evangelicals to be involved in Interfaith Work:
* Respect for religious identity
* Mutually inspiring relationships
* Common action for the common goodThe two major barriers to interfaith involvement for evangelicals are (1) a fear that it promotes theological pluralism or universalism and (2) the disinterest that results from a perceived lack of opportunities to convert others. Clear communication of the definition of interfaith cooperation will mitigate the former and inform the latter. Evangelicalism must be respected for the interfaith movement to be patent — even if it means tolerating some degree of proselytization. Proselytization, however, can only be tolerated in the interfaith movement if it respects the religious identity of those who are proselytized, thus requiring that the evangelical make a careful examination of their technique.
The rest of their suggestions can be found here.
