Three Goals of Interreligious Dialogue
- To know oneself ever more profoundly and enrich and round out one’s appreciation of one’s own faith tradition
- To know the other ever more authentically and gain a friendly understanding of others as they are and not in caricature
- To live ever more fully accordingly and to establish a more solid foundation for community of life and action among persons of various traditions
(Leonard Swidler, Toward a Universal Theology of Religion, p. 26)
