ISLAMO-CHRISTIAN DIALOGUE: IMAM PALLAVICINI (ITALY), "BEING MODELS OF CITIZENSHIP" (2)

These are – said the imam – examples of "good practice" of Islamo-Christian dialogue that "seemingly only involves theologians, jurists, religious leaders, spiritual masters, university lecturers, intellectuals, but which in fact can and must produce an impact on the believers and the creatures that are still sensitive to the real nature of religion and dialogue between different civilisations". As to the letter "A common word", Pallavicini said: the "forms of exploitation of inter-religious dialogue" "have been responded by a current of Muslim wise men "that for years have taken on the responsibility for sharing an international network of doctrinal reconciliation, intensifying the relations between modernity and tradition, the East and the West, faith and reason, in order to protect the authenticity and independence of Islamic Orthodoxy from nationalisms or puritanical ideologies". ” ” ” “
