Dialogue profond

Bienvenue sur le blog de la Conversation Interreligieuse Canadienne, «Dialogue profond», où les participants à la Conversation partagent leurs points de vue sur l'importance et la nature du dialogue interreligieux et des questions connexes, et également affichent des actualités.

«Dialogue profond» reconnaît que nous pouvons faire plus et mieux ensemble, quand nous avons l'occasion de discuter les choses les plus profondes pour nous. Nous croyons que nos désirs de contribuer au bien-être de tout le monde viennent de l'endroit où résident nos valeurs et nos croyances, pas d'un désir superficiel de s'entendre avec les autres. Quand nous partageons les choses qui détiennent une signification profonde pour nous, non seulement nous nous faisons mieux comprendre, mais nous pouvons également mieux anticiper où et comment nous pourrions améliorer notre collaboration.

Les demandes pour contribuer un blog invité sont bienvenus (envoyer des requêtes à info@interfaithconversation.ca). S'il vous plaît noter que les opinions exprimées dans les blogs et commentaires sont ceux de chaque participant, pas de la Conversation Interreligieuse Canadienne dans son ensemble.

Religious Freedom & Building Bridges

I keep a Grateful Journal. Daily I try to itemize at least one thing for which I'm appreciative. Today's entry reads, "I'm grateful for Justice Campbell of the Nova Scotia Supreme Court who ruled in favour of religious freedom and association." I'm referring of course to the case of Trinity Western University v. Nova Scotia Barristers' Society.

Is Religion the Source of All Conflict in the World?

I walk down the famous or infamous Yonge Street in Toronto from my home to my office every day.

And so it was on one of these morning ‘constitutionals’ that my eye was caught by a sale of soap from Aleppo, Syria. I had been in Syria until two days before the fighting broke out and so naturally I was intrigued about where exactly in the country the soap had come from, whether it had been shipped pre-conflict, etc. The salesperson did not know.
