Interfaith Dialogue
How many times have you encountered something truly global and truly edifying?
We're talking something that elevates the soul and has built a worldwide following, something that is lamentably rare and special.
We're talking Scouting, an historically Christian movement with a wonderfully Ismaili flavor.
This year, Navroz and Easter fall within a week of each other. Both are celebrations of new life and bear a remarkable similarity in symbolism.
Jesus' response to the question "who is my neighbor" is not what we might call direct.
As was his way, asked a simple question, he answered with a story - something which we like very much here at Ismaili Friends.
His story, an illustration of the principle that we should love our neighbors as we love ourselves, is a great lesson for Christians and Ismailis as we consider the topic of interfaith dialogue.
Have you ever wanted to talk to someone with a different faith to you?
Interfaith dialogue is a simple idea. It means conversation, engagement and interaction between people from at least two different faith backgrounds.
For us here at Ismaili Friends, it means dialogue between Ismailis and Christians.
