Abstract

Interreligious dialogue is a process of communication and an attempt at establishing mutual respect and understanding between people from different and even no religious affiliation. The desired outcome of interreligious dialogue is to promote peace, create understanding, work towards cooperation in multi-religious societies, and if at all possible, social cohesion. This endeavour requires persistence, patience and a commitment to finding common ground while respecting the diversity of religious beliefs and practices.
