Guidelines for Interfaith Events & Dialogue
Prepared by the Committee for Christian Unity & the Bishops of the Church of Ireland
ISBN 978 1 904884 15 6 Pbk 31 pages Church of Ireland Publishing
Written for members of the Church of Ireland to equip them as members of a society experieincing accelerated diversity of faiths and cultures these Guidelines build on the agreement reached at a Porvoo Consultation in Oslo, Norway in 2003. They are offerd so as to be helpful in situations where people of different faiths will meet with one another and so find use beyond their immediate audience.
The taking of appropriate decisions about situations in which we will find ourselves is important if understanding is to challenge fear and ignorance, and if all concerned are to be true to their fatih. Living our own faith confidently and compassionatley is the first requirement in meeting people of other faiths. The second requirement is to learn about what those people understand by their own fiath. When Interfaith co-operation works, the lives of all are enriched. It is hoped that these Guidelines will contribute to fulfilling this expectation
