The desired outcome of interreligious dialogue is to promote peace, create understanding, work towards cooperation in multi-religious societies, and if at all possible, social cohesion. This endeavour requires persistence, patience and a commitment to finding common ground while respecting the diversity of religious beliefs and practices.en© 2023. The Author. Licensee: AOSIS.
