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."
