ABSTRACT

In an outline of key principles for interfaith dialogue, Ronald Rolheiser put forward the following as his first two points: ‘All that is good, true and beautiful comes from one and the same author, God. Nothing that is true, irrespective of its particular religious or secular cloak, may be seen as opposed to true faith and religion’; ‘God wills the salvation of all people, equally, without discrimination. God has no favourites. All people have access to God and to God’s Spirit, and the whole of humankind has never lacked for divine providence. Moreover, each religion is to reject nothing that is true and holy in other religions’ (Rolheiser 2015: 43).
