In contemporary Ireland, the seeds of dialogue grow and flourish in
communities that accept difference and work positively to promote
each other's rights and well-being. These are communities that
gather together to engage in open-ended, respectful encounters with
people from a range of belief and religious traditions. Interbelief
dialogue involves positive communication, cooperation and energetic
collaboration among people of religious faiths and secular,
humanist, agnostic and atheist stances. Though not a panacea for
all society's ills, and often profoundly challenging, inter-belief
dialogue offers the opportunity for constructive engagement,
cooperation and peace-building. Connecting Lives is a wide-ranging
and informative introduction to interbelief dialogue in
contemporary Ireland. Divided into three sections, the volume first
considers the nature and relevance of interbelief dialogue in
education and in the public square, underscoring the importance of
respectful dialogue in building a healthy intercultural society.
The book then gives voice to members of various belief and faith
communities as they live out their beliefs in contemporary Ireland,
before exploring key challenges and opportunities in interbelief
dialogue in a world often marred by intolerance.
