OUR MISSION AND INTERRELIGIOUS DIALOGUE  \nIntroduction  \n128 1. If we imagine ourselves with the Trinity, in the spirit of Ignatius, looking down on the earth as the third millennium of Christianity is about to unfold, what do we see? More than five billion human beings — some male, some female; some rich, many more poor; some yellow, some brown, some black, some white; some at peace, some at war; some Christian (1 . 95 billion), some Muslim (1 billion), some Hindu (777 million), some Buddhist (341 million), some of new religious movements (128 million), some of indigenous religions (99 million), some Jewish (14 million), some of no religion at all (1 .1 billion) .1 What meaning and what opportunity does this rich ethnic, cultural and religious pluralism that characterizes God's world today have for our lives and for our mission of evangelization? And how do we respond to the racism, cultural prejudice, religious fundamentalism and intolerance that mark so much of today's world?  \n129 2. General Congregation 34 encourages all Jesuits to move beyond prejudice and bias, be it historical, cultural, social or theological, in order to cooperate wholeheartedly with all men and women of good will in promoting peace, justice, harmony, human rights and respect for all of God's creation. This is tobe done especially through dialogue with those inspired by religious commitment, or who share a sense of transcendence that opens them to universal values .  \nThe Church and Interreligious Dialogue  \n130 3. Vatican II has exhorted all Catholics to a dialogue which will \"acknowledge, preserve and promote the spiritual and moral goods found in other religions, and the values in their society and culture\" in order to \"join hands with them to work towards a world of peace, liberty, social justice and moral values . \"2 The Holy Father has repeatedly asked Jesuits to make interreligious dialogue an apostolic priority for the third millennium.3 In a world where Christians comprise less than 20%  \n1 International Bulletin of Missionary Research , Vol . 19, No . 1 (January 1995), p . 25. According to the editor, these statistics are taken from the World Christian Encyclopedia , updated and projected using a new demographic analysis provided by researchers at the United Nations . As with all statistics they must be used with care.  \n2Vatican Council II, Nostra Aetate nn. 2, 3.  \n3 John Paul II, \"Ad quosdam Societatis Jesu Sodales\"( 27 February 1992): AR 18 (1982) p . 728; Homily at General Congregation 33 (2 September 1983): AR 18 (1983) p . 1093; Allocution to General Congregation 34, 5 January 1995, n. 6; cf . Appendix I .  \nof the population, it is imperative that we collaborate with others to achieve common goals . In the context of the divisive, exploitative and conflictual roles that religions, including Christianity, have played in history, dialogue seeks to develop the unifying and liberating potential of all religions, thus showing the relevance of religion for human well-being, justice and world peace . Above all we need to relate positively to believers of other religions because they are our neighbours; the common elements of our religious heritages and our human concerns force us to establish ever closer ties based on  \nuniversally accepted ethical values . Dialogue with its own guiding principles, requirements it should \"never be made a strategy to elicit  \nis \"an activity and dignity\"4 and conversions. \"5 To  \nbe religious today is to be interreligious in the sense that a positive relationship with believers of other faiths is a requirement in a world of religious pluralism.  \n131 4. The Society must foster the four-fold dialogue recommended by the Church:  \n\"a . The dialogue of life , where people strive to live in an open and neighbourly spirit, sharing their joysand sorrows, their human problems and preoccupations.  \nb . The dialogue of action , in which Christians and others collaborate for the integral development and liberation o","cbCaitiCDPaaUNDQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitiCDPaaUNDQ","pdf",34849,"English","# OUR MISSION AND INTERRELIGIOUS DIALOGUE\n## Introduction\n## The Church and Interreligious Dialogue\n## The Four-Fold Dialogue Framework\n## The Society and Inter-Religious Dialogue","[{\"question\":\"Why is interreligious dialogue considered crucial in the mission described here?\",\"answer\":\"Because today’s world is marked by intense religious, cultural, and social diversity, dialogue provides an opportunity to promote peace, justice, harmony, human rights, and respect for creation while responding to intolerance and prejudice.\"},{\"question\":\"What does Vatican II require Catholics to do regarding other religions?\",\"answer\":\"It calls for a dialogue that acknowledges, preserves, and promotes the spiritual and moral goods found in other religions, and the values within their societies and cultures, so people can work toward peace and social justice.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the four types of dialogue emphasized by the Church in this text?\",\"answer\":\"The dialogue of life, the dialogue of action, the dialogue of religious experience, and the dialogue of theological exchange—each with its own purpose and form of engagement.\"}]","OUR MISSION AND INTERRELIGIOUS DIALOGUE | PDF",1790653206,25]
