As disciples of Jesus Christ, we desire to follow Him more closely.

We believe that the Spirit of Jesus is present in peoples of other religious traditions. As disciples of Jesus Christ, we desire to hear what He might be saying to us through them. We believe that peoples of other faiths might inspire us to live our Christian faith more fully and more deeply.

We believe, furthermore, that God is working in our world to bring all peoples together in Christ. God is calling the Church to be a sign and an agent of this work of reconciliation. We believe that there is an urgent need for reconciliation among the religions of our world and that the Church is called to promote this reconciliation.

For this reason, Scarboro Missions, inspired by the teaching of the Church, desires to enter into a conversation with peoples of other faiths and also to foster a conversation among the religions. We believe that this conversation will promote cooperation toward peace, social justice, and the common good.
