Can someone please give me a good definition for INTERFAITH DIALOGUE


I have this for ecumenism
Ecumenism involves the co-operation between different denominations. It could occur in many levels, from ecumenical developments that completely ignore all difference, to those that see differences as a source of enrichment, to those that have an ultimate aim at unity.

thanks in advance

Its similar to ecumenism, except it involves cooperation between different faiths and religions, not between certain groups within one single religion.

Thanks Acmilan
Sorry to bug you again

How would you define RELIGIOUS HARMONY?
Is this the result of ecumenism and interfaith dialogue?

Ecumenism is ONLY between Christianity

Religious Harmony occurs as a result of Ecumenism and Inter-faith Dialogue. Not sure of an exect definition, but something along the lines of religious tradtions, groups, variants and denominations living/working together in a harmonious relationship with one another.
