- For the complete story of Eboo Patel and the founding of the Interfaith Youth Core, read Acts of Faith: The Story of an American Muslim, the Struggle for the Soul of a Generation (Boston: Beacon Press, 2007).
Websites
- In the March/April 2003 issue of UU World magazine, the UUA President Bill Sinkford called for Unitarian Universalists to articulate their faith in elevator speeches. UU World then collected the elevator speeches: first page, second page, third page, fourth page.
- The Interfaith Youth Core, founded by Eboo Patel, "builds mutual respect and pluralism among young people from different religious traditions by empowering them to work together to serve others." They have a page of tools and resources.
