Question: In Present context how should we maintain dialouge with other faiths ?

Answer 1

Don't get bogged down by the 'politically correct every religion is right every opinion is right' hype that the world is currently obsessed with. You should stick to your beliefs, and not be ashamed of your religion. However, not in any context should a person mistreat or disrespect anyone because of a different faith. That doesn't mean that you have to agree with them, though.

Answer 2

Good video!
As for my religion, I'm trying to get involved in the Cooperative Ministries association in my town. Just because I'm a Pagan doesn't mean that I can't work alongside the Christians, Jews and other churches to help the needy. That's what I hope to be a start in cooperation. It's a common ground.

Dialog is a tool to promote understanding, and must be conducted without proslytization in order to grow and continue. Proslytizing has a place, but not in formal dialog between faiths.

To fight the battles that need to be faught, (the environment, war, hunger, poverty, AIDS, unplanned pregnancy, divorce....) we need to work cooperatively. That synergy that comes from people working together brings forth a power which no church alone could muster.

Answer 3

We have to respect one another. Nobody is going to come to faith by people preaching at them. Love is the only way to show Jesus.

Answer 4

Don't talk about religion but about people and economy. Stick with the facts.
