Inter-faith

TERMINOLOGY

The term Inter-Faith refers to cooperation and positive interaction between people of different faiths. It is different from mixing the rules from different Religion s to create an alternative way. Inter-Faith Dialogue often involves promoting Dialogue between different Religions to increase tolerance towards The Other .

IMPORTANT EVENTS IN THE HISTORY OF INTER-FAITH DIALOGUE

In the Early 20th Century dialogue started to take place between the Abrahamic Faith's of Christianity , Judaism and Islam which have much in common with each other.

The Inter-Faith dialogue movement has gathered much interest after the 1960 s. In 1965 the Roman Catholic Church issued the Vatican II document Nostra Aetate , instituting major policy changes in the Catholic Church's policy towards non-Christian religions.

In the late 1960 's Inter-Faith groups joined around Civil Rights issues for African-Americans and later were often vocal in their opposition to the Viet Nam War .

In Recent years Inter-Faith Dialogue has been popularized and reformulated by M. Fethullah Gulen (1938-), a well-known Turkish scholar. The approach is based on the belief that the Religion s have a lot in common.

Today, Inter-Faith is more common than ever. Inter-Faith projects are championed by many International organizations - See List Below .
