About Dialogue International
Dialogue International endeavors to promote intercultural and
interfaith dialogue and to provide an environment for students and the public to
exchange ideas and information on various cultures and beliefs.
To reach this
goal we have started a video lecture series which
focuses on major religions and deals with less
known aspects of them. We also organize celebrations
of common holidays in major cultures and religions,
including speeches by representatives of each
religion. We have been organizing interfaith dialogue
activities which have brought Muslim, Christian
and Jewish speakers and believers together. We
hope that all these activities will serve to establish
a peaceful world and a growth of understanding,
tolerance, and love.
Constitution of Dialogue
International
Our Goals:
- To promote intercultural
and interfaith dialogue,
- To provide an environment
of exchanging ideas and information on various
cultures and beliefs.
Our Principles
:
- Religions, languages
and ethnicities exist so that we come together
and learn from, not fight, each other.
- We share values to promote;
we share problems to solve.
- In the age of globalization
coexistence of civilizations is possible only
through dialogue.
- The pillars of dialogue
are love, tolerance, compassion and forgiving.
- Love is the essence
of existence.
- Tolerance is our
binding spirit.
- Compassion and
forgiving are inclusive aspects of a harmonious
society, in which individual will flourish,
community will arise.
- Diversity is our richness.
Diversity without dialogue causes hostility,
dialogue without diversity brings distortion.

"Come,
come, whoever you are.
Wanderer, idolater, worshipper of fire,
Come even you have broken your vows a thousand
times,
Come, and come yet again.
Ours is not a caravan of despair."
