Scenario

When interfaith dialogue prioritizes politeness over truth

Our interfaith dialogue group started with such good intentions but we keep hitting this wall where we're all so careful not to offend that we never say anything that actually matters and the conversations feel shallow and safe instead of meaningful. We're all there because we want to understand each other better but the politeness is getting in the way of real encounter.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Well-intentioned seekers from different traditions discover that the fear of giving offense can prevent the very understanding they seek.
