Interfaith Dialogue among World Religions

This Book refers to cooperative, constructive and positive interaction between people of different religious traditions. Throughout the world there are local, regional, national and international interfaith initiatives; many are formally or informally linked and constitute larger networks or federations. The main goal of writing this book is Peace, but I also believe there will be no peace among the religions without dialogue among the religions. To some, the term inter-religious dialogue has the same meaning as interfaith dialogue. Neither are the same as Nondenominational Christianity. 'Interfaith' refers to interaction between different faith groups such as Muslim and Christian or Hindu and Jew for example. To many of us, the history of interfaith dialogue is as ancient as religion itself. When not at war with their neighbors, human beings have made an effort to understand them (not least because understanding is a strategy for defense, but also because for as long as there is dialogue wars are delayed). History records many examples of interfaith initiatives and dialogue throughout the ages.
