Welcome to the deeper dimensions of interfaith dialogue—exploring
that which divides us personally, spiritually and institutionally.
"We believe that interfaith dialogue holds the key to a healing
that calls us back to purpose and to meaning. We have risked
confronting aspects of our traditions usually hidden, and the
consequences have been deeply life-affirming. We risk becoming
vulnerable as we share awkward and even unacceptable texts and
interpretations, but it is this very vulnerability that allows our
dialogue to move forward." —from the Introduction Expanding on
the conversation started with their very successful first book, the
Interfaith Amigos—a pastor, a rabbi and an imam—probe more
deeply into the problem aspects of our religious institutions to
provide a profound understanding of the nature of what divides us.
They identify four common problem areas in the Abrahamic faiths:
Exclusivity: Staking Claim to a One and Only Truth Violence:
Justifying Brutality in the Name of Faith Inequality of Men and
Women: The Patriarchal Stranglehold on Power Homophobia: A Denial
of Legitimacy They explore the origins of these issues and the ways
critics use these beliefs as divisive weapons. And they present
ways we can use these vulnerabilities to open doors for the
collaboration required to address our common issues, more profound
personal relationships, and true interfaith healing.
