Attend Each Other’s Religious Celebrations
Attending or participating in celebrations and ceremonies of different religious communities generates a better understanding of each other’s religions and creates an opportunity to connect across religious traditions. The practice can take place in worship places, in people’s houses during celebration times of the respective traditions or even in neutral rooms, depending on the needs, and may be conducted by individuals and groups alike. It is also possible to come together for meditation or common prayers without the context of a particular religious holiday. Designed as an interreligious experience, the practice encourages deeper understanding of participating religious communities as well as the place of the dialogue participants within each of them, as such visits further consolidate the dialogue by seeing a religious person ‘in action’ within the context of their respective religious communities.
