Importance of Using Questions in Interfaith Dialogue
One effective approach in interfaith dialogue, particularly when discussing sensitive topics, is to use questions. By asking open-ended questions, it allows for genuine dialogue and encourages individuals to reflect on their own beliefs. For example, when addressing the topic of Islam and violence, instead of making direct statements, one can ask a Muslim friend what they make of certain verses in the Quran. This approach creates space for discussion without immediately causing offense and allows individuals to explore and express their own perspectives. Questions can also be used to compare and contrast the differences between different religious beliefs, such as understanding how the concept of God differs in Christianity and Islam.
