Abstract

Interreligious dialogue involves religious leaders in a hybrid function as diplomats trapped between the secular and religious realms. Who are they and what are their motivations? In this article, we distinguish between theological and political peace dialogues, and trace the underlying concerns that motivate those who initiate and moderate interreligious dialogues for peace. We discuss underlying religious sensibilities that inform their commitment, which range from those who see interreligious dialogue as a meaningful religious endeavour to those who see it as an opportunity to tell the Truth. Underlying each position, we find personal motivations entangled with particular religious worldviews.
