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.

- 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)

- 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." (from the website)

"Serving as the umbrella organisation of 36 national

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

by dialogue, understanding, respect and cooperation. Based in Chicago and

strong belief in building bridges between the Christian and Jewish communities."

Subsequent workshops (Memphis 1975; Detroit 1977; Los Angeles 1978; Dallas 1980; Milwaukee
1981; Boston 1983; St. Louis 1984; Baltimore 1986; Minneapolis 1987; Charleston 1989;

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)
