There isn't much going on there.

I don't understand you Honza. Now that you have managed to get an interfaith section going in this forum you invite us to have a look at another forum?

Just a way to open up the section, I think we should have an FAQ thread specifically locked and stickied in here.

I know this isn't a definition, but I would like to think it could be where a group comes together and talks about faith, belief, and spiritual matters without hostility or offense.

That could be either a space where everyone can practice their beliefs alongside other people practicing theirs. Or it could be a diluted mixture of everything looking for common threads. What do you think?

Here is an example: http://www.multifaith.utoronto.ca/

I went to an Interfaith Sunday Service once. All religions were celebrated. It was a religious service of all religions. I was deeply inspired and moved by it.

That is a good definition of Interfaith. The equality of all religions. The validity of all religions.

That's probably the most widespread and accurate definition I've heard.

I think interfaith dialogue is important for our increasingly diverse and multicultural societies. It's important to have a basic understanding of one another, and how our beliefs differ, and are the same. Interfaith dialogue is, for me, a way for people to come to an en passe of understanding, while being distant in their own ways.

I would think that an individual of interfaith perspective understands there is one Truth, (God is Truth), and various faiths that recognize God.
Jesus, upon being queried by Pontious Pilate before the atonement for our human condition, responded to him saying,
"I came to bear witness to the Truth. All who are 'of The Truth' will hear me."
I see that Christ is cited in writings of various faiths.

I also see that He confirmed the Far Eastern teachings to the Jews in the Middle East, especially that of, "Maya", the illusory aspect of the physical world, in the contruct of time and space.
