Dialogue in Truth and Charity

from the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue

19 May 2014

“Interreligious dialogue, by its very nature, adapts to local cultures, traditions, languages and worldviews. Partners in dialogue need to be acquainted with these as well as with the local sensibilities and sensitivities to be better able to promote meaningful encounter and collaboration with one another.
