interfaith dialogue
Cross-tradition religious discussion
Interfaith dialogue is conversation between people of different religions, aimed at mutual understanding rather than conversion.
The term emphasizes respectful exchange over debate: The mosque and synagogue held interfaith dialogues after the attack.
Such efforts typically focus on shared values or collaborative action rather than theological disputes.
