Deep Dialogue

Welcome to the Deep Dialogue page, where Participants in the Conversation share their views on the importance and nature of interfaith dialogue and related issues, and also post news items. Deep Dialogue recognizes that we can do more together, and do so better, when we provide opportunity to talk about the things that have deepest meaning for us. We believe that our desires to contribute to the well-being of all people come from the place where our values and beliefs reside, not from a superficial desire to get along with others. When we are able to share those things that hold deep meaning for us, we not only promote better understanding but we are also able to better anticipate where and how we can work better together.

Guest blog posts are welcome (send requests to info@interfaithconversation.ca). Please note that views expressed in blog posts written by a Conversation Participant reflect their own views, not those of the Canadian Interfaith Conversation as a whole.

The summer of 2016 has been a “summer of discontent” throughout much of the world, especially with respect to interreligious understanding.

Building Our Whole Society: Religion and Citizenship at Canada’s 150th

Call for Workshop Proposals

With World Refugee Day on June 20th, my thoughts are increasingly focused on the relief effort "I Was a Stranger.”  Although intended to bless the lives of refugees, this initiative has done as much, if not more, to bless the lives of those who serve.

The “Our Whole Society” conference will take place next year from May 8-9, 2017 at St. Paul University, Ottawa, Canada.  The event will also mark the 150th anniversary of Canada’s Confederation.  Participants will seek to discover “a new way of talking, thinking and acting together so that Canada’s religious diversity can become a resource for collective advancement.”
