Below you will find links to various religious communities, interreligious institutes and dialogues, and interreligious resources. The understanding of "interreligious" used here involves the interaction between the living faiths of the world. Thus, for example, Christian-Muslim dialogue is considered to be interreligious while internal Christian dialogue is reserved to the "ecumenical" pages.

This page presumes the evident value of dialogue between religious traditions. We are not proposing a blending of traditions, nor are we opposing such dialogue. These resources are intended to allow members of all faiths to learn more about each other and to appreciate more fully the riches of the world's religious experiences.

We have not confirmed the accuracy of all of these URL's. We would be interested in your Please help us to make this a better resource.

    Canadian Council of Christians and Jews
  • Canadian Council of Christians and Jews
    "The CCCJ was incorporated in 1947. It reflected the European origins of most Canadians, seeking to build bridges between Christians and Jews who shared almost two thousand years of religious tension and antisemitic hostility that climaxed in the Holocaust. Business, political, and religious leaders came together, guided by a vision of Canada as a nation founded on, bound together by, and dedicated to the moral ideals of peace, justice, freedom of conscience and the universal Brotherhood/Sisterhood of humanity.
    "The Council seeks by educational means to promote justice, friendship, understanding and cooperation among Canadians differing in race, religion or ethnic origin. It analyzes and moderates intergroup prejudices which distort cultural, social, business, and political relations with a view to establish a social order where the ideals of peace and justice become the standards of human relationships.
    "The Council has since its beginning been a symbol of peace in action, proving that Jews and Christians could work together, despite real differences, to promote dialogue, education and community action for everyone's benefit. As the religious composition of Canadian society has been changing over the years, the Council has engaged in interfaith relations and dialogues other than between Christians and Jews. However, as our name implies, we want to continue to encourage the fight against every kind of bigotry, prejudice and hate based on fear and ignorance, by building confidence mainly between the two communities.
    "We believe that all communities can find a high common ground on which to work together, if we allow ourselves to be inspired by the spiritual values of the world's great faiths. It is not enough "to live and let live" each in isolation; not enough to speak out only when there is trouble, or when "I" or "my people" are victims; not enough to rely on government programs and civil servants to make the country work. In the interest of the country truly "strong and free", each of us must actively and constantly be "my brother's and sister's keeper"." (from the Jewish-Christian Relations website)
    • Canadian Council of Christians and Jews - Alberta
      "The Council's programs in the 1950's and 1960's helped lay the secure foundation for the peaceful building of the Canadian cultural mosaic before the invention of the word multiculturalism. After 1950 Chapters of the Council were established in major cities of Western Canada and for many years the Council had its office for the Western Region in Calgary. In 1987 the Canadian Council of Christians and Jews, Alberta, was formed on a strictly volunteer basis. ... The Presbyterian, Lutheran, United, Roman Catholic and Anglican churches (PLURA) and the Orthodox, Conservative and Liberal synagogues are officially represented on the Board of the Alberta Region. These representatives work side by side with a number of volunteer directors." (from the website)

    "CJRE is a ministry of the Sisters of Our Lady of Sion in North America. Begun in 1986, CJRE is inspired by the commitment expressed by Vatican Council II in Nostra Aetate regarding the relationship of the church to the Jewish people. Conscious that Christianity is linked to Judaism from its origin to its final destiny, CJRE seeks to: witness in the church and in the world that God's faithful love for the Jewish people has never been revoked; (cf., Pope John Paul II); ensure the rights of all people by helping to bring the values of the Christian and Jewish faith traditions to work for a just peace through understanding, reconciliation and partnership."

  • Fondation Éthique Planétaire recherche, formation, rencontre entre les cultures et entre les religions
    Le problème d'une « éthique planétaire » remonte au livre-programme intitulé Projet d'éthique planétaire (1990 ; traduction française aux Editions du Seuil, 1991). Dans ce livre, l'auteur, Hans Küng, lance et justifie l'idée que les religions ne pourront contribuer à la paix dans le monde qu'en réfléchissant à ce qui dès à présent leur est commun dans le domaine des convictions éthiques. Un consensus de base doit être réalisé dans l'avenir autour de valeurs permanentes indiscutables, de critères de jugement intagibles et d'attitudes personnelles fondamentales. Le « projet d'éthique planétaire » est porté par les convictions essentielles suivantes : pas de paix dans le monde sans paix entre les religions ; pas de paix entre les religions sans dialogue entre les religions ; pas de dialogue entre les religions sans une recherche sur les principes à l'intérieur de chaque religion. Cette recherche autour des principes à promouvoir a abouti à un premier résultat d'importance: la « Déclaration sur l'éthique planétaire », proclamée par l'Assemblée des religions du monde à Chicago en 1993 et rédigée d'abord dans ses grandes lignes par Hans Küng, dans le cadre et à l'initiative de l'Institut d'Etudes Œcuméniques de l'Université de Tübingen. Avec cette Déclaration, des représentants de toutes les religions se sont, pour la première fois, mis d'accord sur des principes d'une éthique planétaire. Ils se sont engagés en faveur de quatre orientations irréversibles, à concrétiser dans les situations particulières : engagement à promouvoir une culture de la non-violence et du respect de toute vie ; engagement à promouvoir une culture de la solidarité et un ordre économique juste ; engagement à promouvoir une culture de la tolérance et une vie selon la vérité ; engagement à promouvoir une culture de l'égalité et du partenariat entre hommes et femmes.
  • Global Ethic Foundation for Inter-cultural and Inter-religious Research, Education and Encounter
    "The question of a Global Ethic stems from Professor Hans Küng's book "Global Responsibility" (1990), which was first published in English in 1991. This book developed programmatically the idea that the religions of the world can make a contribution to the peace of humankind only if they reflect on those elements of an ethic which they already have in common: on a fundamental consensus on binding values, irrevocable standards and personal attitudes. ... The first major result of this investigation of the foundation of the religions was the "Declaration towards a Global Ethic" which was endorsed by the Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago in 1993. The draft was written by Hans Küng in the Institute for Ecumenical Research at the University of Tübingen. With this declaration, for the first time representatives of all the religions reached agreement on principles for a global ethic and committed themselves to four irrevocable directives, which took the following concrete form: Commitment to a culture of non-violence and respect for life; Commitment to a culture of solidarity and a just economic order; Commitment to a culture of tolerance and a life of truthfulness; Commitment to a culture of equal rights and partnership between men and women."

  • International Council of Christians and Jews
    "Serving as the umbrella organisation of 36 national Jewish-Christian dialogue organisations world-wide. The ICCJ member organisations world-wide over the past five decades have been successfully engaged in the historic renewal of Jewish-Christian relations. Founded as a reaction to the Holocaust, the Shoah, in the awareness that ways must be found to examine the deeply engrained roots of mistrust, hatred and fear that culminated in one of the worst evils in human history, theologians, historians and educators included the still fragile structure of enlightenment and the human rights movements of the inter-war period. ... In more recent years the ICCJ and its members increasingly engaged in the Abrahamic dialogue: the encounter between Jews, Christians and Muslims. The ICCJ's efforts to promote Jewish-Christian dialogue provide models for wider interfaith relations, particularly dialogue among Jews, Christians, and Muslims. ... Through its annual conferences and other consultations the ICCJ offers a platform where people of different religious backgrounds examine current issues across national and religious boundaries, enabling face-to-face exchanges of experience and expertise."

  • International Fellowship of Christians and Jews
    "The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews was founded in 1983 to promote understanding and cooperation between Jews and Christians and to build broad support for Israel and other shared concerns. Our vision is that Jews and Christians will reverse their 2,000-year history of discord and replace it with a relationship marked by dialogue, understanding, respect and cooperation. Based in Chicago and Jerusalem, IFCJ operates under the leadership of Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein and is governed by an independent board of directors, people from both faith groups who share our strong belief in building bridges between the Christian and Jewish communities."

  • Multi-Faith Saskatoon
    "Multi-Faith Saskatoon (MFS) brings people together from different faiths in a spirit of friendship and celebration, to promote understanding and good will between faith communities. We believe that promoting amity, dialogue and co-operation among members of different faiths fosters a 'community of religions' in which the common ethical and spiritual values of all faiths can be better appreciated. Rooting out religious intolerance and prejudice as a source of conflict by means of interfaith dialogue is a growing phenomenon at local, national and international levels." [from the website]

  • National Workshop on Christian-Jewish Relations (NWCJR)
    "In late November of 1973, some seventy-five people came together at a retreat center outside Dayton, Ohio, for what the organizers billed as the first national workshop on Catholic-Jewish relations. Addressing the forum were such luminaries of the dialogue as Dr. Eva Fleischner, Rabbi Irving Greenberg, and Rev. Edward Flannery. Subsequent workshops (Memphis 1975; Detroit 1977; Los Angeles 1978; Dallas 1980; Milwaukee 1981; Boston 1983; St. Louis 1984; Baltimore 1986; Minneapolis 1987; Charleston 1989; Chicago 1990; Pittsburgh 1992; Tulsa 1994 and Stamford 1996) have enlarged the sponsorship to include Protestant and Orthodox Christians and major Jewish agencies such as the American Jewish Committee and the Anti-Defamation League, as well as both the Reform and Conservative branches of Judaism. ... The national workshops, which were the brainchild of a local women's "living room" dialogue group, have over the years both reflected the cutting edge of the relationship and moved forward its agenda. Many, perhaps most, of the leading figures of the Jewish-Christian dialogue, nationally and internationally, have addressed the Workshop in its plenary or seminar sessions. Its attendance has grown to over a thousand participants." (Dr. Eugene J. Fischer, from the website)
