Doha Interfaith Dialogue – 2010 Address

20th October 2010 by SoulofEurope in Miscellaneous

This is the address which Donald Reeves gave at the 2010 Doha Interfaith Dialogue.

“Dialogue does not just happen. It is an art to be learnt: skills in listening and facilitating.”

The paper, entitled Religious Upbringing And Contemporary Challenges In A Globalised Era describes the need to develop the essential practice of ‘solidarity’ in response to the persecution of religious minorities; it highlights the difficulties religious leaders experience in responding to internal conflicts.

‘Dialogue’ has lost its currency through overuse, so I describe it as a special kind of conversation. All are invited to participate – those for whom absolute certainty is a prerequisite as well as those, in the West, who have trouble working out their faith in a secular world.

The crisis of religious authority, the way sacred texts are read, the recovery of the Imagination, a consideration of the problem around ‘segregation and integration’ are described.

This paper outlines the huge task of challenging the idolatry of management-speak and the market which has trespassed on the territory of religion.

The paper ends with a call for opportunities for newcomers to inter-religious dialogue to learn the skills and art of dialogues.
