Dialogue can bring about transformation. That conviction grounds
Ikenna Paschal Okpaleke's argument concerning dialogue between
groups, and ecumenical and interreligious dialogue in particular.
This book examines the fundamental question: What are the
additional assets and transformed views which Christian
denominations committed to ecumenical dialogue can bring to the
table of interreligious dialogue? If Christian dialogue partners,
particularly in Nigeria (in this case, Anglicans and Roman
Catholics), can change how they perceive one another - moving from
antagonism to friendship, division to unity - then they, as
ecumenically-transformed Christians, can better engage in fruitful
and transforming dialogue with the religious other, particularly
Muslims. This book addresses: a) the constituents of communal
identity and the impact of dialogue on such identity, b) how the
Anglican-Roman Catholic dialogue has (or has not) transformed the
communal identities of the dialogue partners, particularly in the
local context of Nigeria, c) the ways in which the perceived
advantages of a transformative model of dialogue, shaped by
ecumenical encounter and dialogue, can be applied to interreligious
encounter and dialogue, and d) how theological reflection interacts
with praxis in promoting transformation through dialogue.
