On September 5th, we launched our latest publication, the “ABC of Interfaith Dialogue,” a comprehensive guide designed to enrich and streamline interfaith dialogue. This groundbreaking resource brings together key definitions, historical milestones, influential figures, and significant dates, all essential for deepening understanding in interreligious dialogue. Available in Bosnian/Serbian/Croatian and English, this guide is invaluable for scholars, practitioners, and anyone passionate about fostering mutual respect and collaboration between diverse faith communities. This project was developed as part of the KAICIID Fellows Program in collaboration with United Religions Initiative (URI) Europe, Religions for Peace Europe, and Youth for Peace. The virtual launch event, held on Zoom, gathered esteemed colleagues and representatives from partner organizations across Europe and beyond.
During the event, Dr. Duncan Wielzen, President of URI Europe, emphasized the publication's power to build peace and mutual understanding, stating, “This guide has incredible potential to bridge divides and promote harmony among diverse communities. I truly hope it reaches a wide audience.” Similarly, Luigi de Salvia, President of Religions for Peace Europe, praised the guide’s clarity and its critical role in advancing well-defined interreligious concepts, highlighting its significance in nurturing respect and peace between communities. Samira Baručija-Homoraš, URI Multiregion Coordinator, called upon attendees to share the publication widely, reinforcing its value as a vital resource for fostering dialogue and collaboration across faiths.
