Living amid Religious Pluralism Peter C. Phan http://www.commonwealmagazine.org/print_format.php?id_article=1828 "... Interreligious dialogue can be practiced by people of faith, irrespective of educational level, social standing, and religious status, and is urgently needed in the conflict-ridden political and religious climate of the post-9/11 United States. Such dialogue is not merely a preparatory step toward peacemaking and reconciliation; it constitutes the very process of peacemaking and reconciliation itself, a process that occurs precisely in the acts of living together, working together, and praying together. These dialogues are powerful means to correct biases, erase deep-seated hatreds, and heal ancient wounds. By promoting communication, grassroots activism toward peace and justice, and above all, shared experiences of the Divine or the Absolute in spite of religious differences, such dialogue helps forge a new way of life." ... ---- About the writer Peter C.

| I en intressant artikel av Deborah Gyapong
i Canadian Catholic News kan man läsa följande uttalanden av Hans Küng: " variations of the Golden Rule are found in all religions" “If I am asked as a person ‘what is for you, the way, the truth and the life?’ then I answer ‘Jesus Christ’ and that remains for me my deep conviction of faith which I kept in all these dialogues,” he said. I think there was never some ambiguity in that.” “If I ask my Jewish friend what is for you the way, the truth and the life, he will tell me the Torah. The Muslim will tell me the Koran. I think we need to take seriously at the same time, these two dimensions, the internal dimension of every human being. I have to acknowledge that my Jewish friend is honest.” More: <http://www.catholic.org/printer_friendly.php?id=23448§ion=Cathcom> |
