The document summarizes a study of the Muslim-Christian Youth for Peace and Development (MCYPD) organization in the Philippines. Some key points: - MCYPD is a local interfaith youth group composed of 20 Muslim and Christian youth leaders and members aged 12-24. - The study found that relationships and friendship, rather than religious doctrines, were the most meaningful aspects of participants' interfaith experience. Members were able to look past religious differences to form close bonds. - Participating in interfaith activities provided socialization opportunities and helped immigrant youth feel more connected to their community. Friendships became the main motivation for continuing interfaith work and trying to understand other perspectives.
