| Résumé : | Despite reluctance and even resistance in some quarters, awareness is growing in the ecumenical movement that Christians, in today's increasingly pluralistic world, must go beyond the study of other religions to meet with adherents of those faiths in an encounter of listening and witnessing to each other. Here is a first-person account of how interfaith dialogue gained a permanent place on the agenda of the churches, written by the first director of the World Council of Churches' sub-unit on Dialogue with People of Living Faiths. Interwoven into it are portraits of the author's own pilgrimage in the two worlds where he has spent most of his life - the academic community in India and the global ecumenical context of Geneva. In a concluding section he reflects on controversial contemporary issues in interfaith relations : scriptures and their authority, the “uniqueness” of Jesus Christ, secularism and religious renewal, the Holy Spirit. |
