Proselytizing for Tolerance


Be sure to look over the First Things article online about "Proselytizing for Tolerance" - an in-depth look at the proselytizing nature of tolerance. Check out FT November 2002: Proselytizing for Tolerance Some quotes:

"Proselytism...is virtually unavoidable: almost everyone is a proselytizer on behalf of something....[while] Toleration’s own grammar ...reveals it as a species or kind of proselytism. It is one more player in the field, one more competing proselytism among many. Toleration, we might say, is the proselytism that dare not speak its name."
