A national teleconference was organized by the Ethics and Public Policy Center’s American Religious Freedom Program, and included nine states.
Their hopes is that by the end of 2013, all fifty states will be involved.
Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Missouri, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, and Tennessee will now hold their own caucuses to "set state specific agendas for strengthening religious liberties, learn from the experiences of sister states, and formulate religious freedom policy based on input from each state's diverse faith communities".
Organizers and participants hope that this will lead to further religious coexistence, in the US.
They also believe that furthering understanding will allow for religions to be able to express themselves, outside of their places of worship, without being attacked for it.
