What it is Filled
Cooperative and constructive interaction between people of different religious traditions or between branches of the same tradition, aimed at mutual understanding rather than conversion, including interconfessional dialogue between Christian churches, Christian-Jewish reconciliation after the Holocaust, relations between Christianity and Hinduism and between Hinduism and Islam, Shia-Sunni relations within Islam, and forums such as the Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions held in Kazakhstan; the registry aliases name relationships and events that are topics of dialogue rather than dialogue itself.
