| Summary: | 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. |
