Inter-religious dialogue and Peace Promotion

At the dawn of the 21st century, religion plays a central role in public life, and has become a significant identity marker. In our increasingly pluralistic societies, more inter-religious dialogue and cooperation are needed if conflict fueled by religion is to be constructively addressed. Spiritual and religious traditions are a source of values that can defend dignified life for all; these traditions need to be explored. We need new ways to understand both particularity, universality and plurality; we must learn to live our faith with integrity while respecting and accepting each other. It is also necessary for the peace of world to have dialogue between different religions to find out commonalities to promote the culture of tolerance and brotherhood. This heave responsibility lies on the shoulders of youngsters to promote such a culture so that we can live in peace, harmony and prosper society. What do you think we (youngsters) can do in this regard?
