Scenario

When interfaith dialogue becomes superficial and performative

Our interfaith dialogue group was supposed to build bridges but lately the conversations feel performative and surface-level while the real tensions simmer underneath. We're all being too polite to say what we actually think and I wonder if we're just wasting each other's time.

More people experience this than they realize.

The desire for harmony can become the enemy of truth, leaving seekers trapped in pleasant conversations that touch nothing real.
