Overview determining readiness and benefits of interfaith dialogue

“Dialogue is when persons of different viewpoints come together and interact. Their ‘coming together’ could be in the form of conversation, sharing a meal, sharing in an experience such as creating art or participating in a religious observance or some other form of engagement.” (Interactive Faith by Bud Heckman and RP Neiss)

“The experience of people who have come into deep dialogue with those of other faiths is that it more deeply enriches one’s sense of oneself.”
Diana Eck

“My fundamental belief is that all religious traditions have the same potential to make better human beings, good human beings, sensible human beings, compassionate human beings.”
Dali Lama

“All religions are true.”
Gandhi
