Inter-religious Dialogue:
Some proposals for building peace together.
Edited by Jean Fischer
... This book takes the view that religions can no longer be considered - if needed they ever could - as closed, immovable blocs, and that the phenomenon of religious pluralism, both within our societies and within each tradition, has to be central in any approach to problems connected with religion.

Meeting Rivers: Global Peace Forum for Inter-religious and Secular Initiatives
The objective of this programme is to harness the pluralistic energies that religions offer (along with those of 'inclusive' secularism) to meet the social and ecological challenges of today. The purpose of this programme is to invite religious leaders, including women and youth, to a platform which reflects and acts on the contribution of religions to transform the pressing social and environmental problems of our present day societies. Meeting Rivers tries to reach the above objectives through its work with religious leaders and practitioners who share the same concerns. International conferences, conflict-resolution programmes and publications that promote religious renewal along the lines of personal growth, social intervention and environmental action are some of the activities.
