What is Interfaith Dialogue?

Interfaith dialogue is the promotion of mutual understanding, respect and collaboration between Catholics and the followers of other religious traditions.  We engage in interfaith dialogue because one the Catholic Church’s tasks is to foster closer bonds of love among people and nations (cf. Nostra Aetate 1).
