interfaith relations
Between-belief cooperation efforts
Interfaith relations refers to interactions, dialogue, and cooperation between people of different religious traditions.
The term covers formal institutional efforts—councils, summits, joint statements—as well as informal community connections: The mosque and synagogue have strong interfaith relations.
The goal is typically mutual understanding, respect, or collaboration on shared concerns rather than theological agreement or conversion.
