| Summary: | The Vatican II declarations on the Asian religious traditions (Nostra Aetate, 2) marked the passage from the era of pioneers (Western and Asian) to the stage of the 'reception' of interreligious dialogue by the Asian Churches. Several dimensions of the developments during the last forty years are here examined: the encounter of spiritualities, both on the level of classical heritages and of contemporary and more popular expressions; common endeavours for liberation; a growing awareness of the cultural and religious complexity of rapidly changing societies... In Asia, Christian theologies of religious plurality and interreligious dialogue belong to the life of the Churches as a whole. Les déclarations de Nostra Aetate sur les traditions religieuses de l'Asie permirent de passer de l'ère des pionniers — occidentaux ou asiatiques — à celle de la 'réception' du dialogue interreligieux par les Églises d'Asie. L'article examine quelques facettes des évolutions de ces 40 dernières années: rencontre des spiritualités, tant au plan de leurs patrimoines classiques qu'à celui de leurs expressions populaires ou contemporaines; engagement commun pour la libération; prise de conscience de la complexité culturelle et religieuse de sociétés traversées par des mutations rapides... En Asie, les théologies chrétiennes des religions et le dialogue interreligieux concernent la vie ecclésiale dans sa globalité. |
