Dialogues

Cross-Faith Dialogues are interactive public discourses between Christians and other faith communities for the purpose of understanding fundamentals and differences in faith and culture while learning how to communicate in a safe environment. As Christians, we are obligated to provide a rational response to theological questions and a reasonable answer for opposing contentions. This is to be done in a respectful and loving manner for the purpose of glorifying God and sharing Him with others. Christians do this out of love for God and our neighbors.

Cross-Faith Dialogues are hosted by participating churches. They include a collective meal (of sorts), which is meant to encourage openness in conversation. After the meal, a leader from each faith community presents on a prearranged theological topic from their perspective for 15-20 minutes. After the presentations, there is a time of formal questions and answers (Q&A), followed by an open discussion where the common community members are encouraged to participate. These meetings are usually 2 hours long.
