#Interfaith

Interfaith dialogue is a social ritual in which people of different faiths gather under the guise of listening, while subtly marketing their own doctrines. Clerics speak of finding common ground even as they magnify minor differences for their own sense of superiority. This staged peace-bout unfolds around coffee and biscuits, where polite exchanges spark quiet fireworks. The ideal may be "understanding and reconciliation," but the true agenda often becomes reaffirming one’s own correctness. The real achievement is the delightful chaos that ensues when moderators fail to manage each side’s speaking time.
