| Summary: | On the one hand, it can not be denied that the statements of Vatican II about other religions promoted the development of dialogic relations with other faiths. On the other hand, some question and criticize Vatican II for not providing an adequate basis for genuine dialogue which has to go both ways. In addition to dialogue in terms of attitudes towards people of other religions, dialogue needs to include a sense of cooperation between different religions in community building. In the Indonesian context, the adherents of different religions are challenged to dialogue and cooperate positively in the development of its unique form of democracy. And good cooperation across faiths can have a positive impact on the quality of interfaith dialogue. |
