Different forms or denominations of Christianity are “ecumenical” groups, while “interfaith” groups offer dialogue between different faiths.
You can study about these and other topics – and also build friendships or do work together. Respecting and learning about other faith traditions doesn’t devalue your own; often, you learn more about your own faith in the process, too.
