Document Details : Title: Addressing Structural Asymmetries between Majority and Minority Subtitle: The Swiss Guidelines for Inter-Religious Dialogue Author(s): BERLIS, Angela Journal: Studies in Interreligious Dialogue Volume: 26 Issue: 2 Date: 2016 Pages: 246-254 DOI: 10.2143/SID.26.2.3200419 Abstract : A recent survey in Switzerland shows that 85% of its respondents think that religions contribute rather to conflict than to peace. This article introduces the Guidelines for Inter-Religious Dialogue, published by the Swiss Interreligious Think-Tank in German in 2013 and in English in 2015. It is a brochure jointly written by Christian, Jewish, and Muslim women, aimed at practical use. This article concentrates on how questions of majority or minority positions are playing a role, how conflict between religions is perceived, and how a 'plurality of perspectives' (Hannah Arendt) can be achieved. |
