Ethnographic findings justifying the relevance of hospitality and friendship as tools for interfaith dialogue

SimonMary Asese A. Aihiokhai

pp. 131-222

In this chapter, I analyze the surveys and interviews conducted among Roman Catholics, Muslims, and Traditionalists in Ihievbe town. I shed light on the viability of hospitality and friendship as dialogical tools among religions. I critique the paradoxical elements in the Roman Catholic magisterial teachings on other religions and present the obstacles that such elements create with the intent to foster authentic interreligious encounters among religions. I delve into the history of dialogue with other religions and show how progress continues to be made, in order for all who read this work to appreciate the relevance of interreligious dialogue for our time.
