John Stott, wrote about tolerance and made a very key distinction between legal, social and intellectual tolerance or acceptance. About legal tolerance he wrote, “fighting for the equal rights before the law of all ethnic and religious minorities. Christians should be in the forefront of this campaign.” What I mean by acceptance is what he calls social tolerance, “going our of our way to make friends with adherents of other faiths, since they are God’s creation who bear his image.” Intellectual tolerance is to accept every view as valid and reject none.
