In 1992, the Church in Denmark co-founded the Danish Interfaith Forum, whose membership includes representatives of Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, Unitarian, Christian Science, Quaker, Lutheran and Bahai faiths. The Forum organized religious services at which a variety of faiths were represented and staged an exposition in Copenhagen in September 1998, entitled “Who Believes What?”, to introduce the public to diverse religious and spiritual groups that have become a part of Danish society.

The Church has continued to hold roundtables and conferences to promote religious tolerance in countries around the world.
The Church has also published and made available a series of brochures in ten languages that describe the national and international laws protecting freedom of religion, so that individuals are informed of what their religious rights are and how to protect them.
