The purpose of interfaith relationships between religions is to build trust and lay the groundwork for charitable efforts. The spiritual and physical needs of the world require goodwill and cooperation among different faiths. Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe that each religious organization makes a valuable contribution to the larger community of believers.
