The destiny of a community and many religions: is there a dialogue for the future of humanity?

From the modern religious wars to the current fundamentalist upheavals, the dialogue between faiths has been fraught with difficulties. In a time – like ours – when multiculturalism imposes relations between ethnic groups, world views and religions, when globalization reshapes the planetary order, and when God or the gods are subjected to permanent metamorphosis, there is a need for a dialogue paradigm that goes beyond the concept of tolerance, inadequate to face the challenges of the third millennium. Are there paths that would make it possible, in the present religious Babel, to think of a peaceful agony that respects the polyphonic diversity in unity?
