| 520 | |a This article explores how a public written response to anti-LGBT+ legislation in Ghana also functioned as a religious educational intervention to shape future visions of tolerant pluralism in Ghanaian society. Navigating the intersection of politics and religion, the Interfaith Diversity Network of West Africa (IDNOWA) lodged a religious objection to the ‘Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values Bill, 2021’, which criminalises non-heteronormative sexualities. The paper discusses how IDNOWA’s approach reflects an African vision of pluralism which anchors itself in Ghana’s religious and cultural traditions, and in pluralist models from Africa and beyond. In the spirit of action science, it calls for RE that highlights internal diversity within religious communities and that lifts up pluralist ‘heroes’ in the classroom and broader society. | ||
