In der Erklärung Nostra aetate will die katholische Kirche „Einheit und Liebe unter den Menschen“ fördern. Sie befürwortet den Dialog als Instrument zur Realisierung dieses Vorhabens. Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen, kann die Kirche im Senegal auf das kulturelle und religiöse Erbe Afrikas zurückgreifen.
englischInterreligious dialogue is a decisive aspect in the dynamic of "aggiornamento", which the Catholic Church has initiated since the Second Vatican Council. In order to walk this path of renewal, the Church of Senegal must promote a dialogue of multiform dimensions: doctrinal, cognitive, pragmatic, ethical and spiritual. The concept of dialogue, developed through this book, is a form of contribution to this theological and pastoral task. It calls on the Church in Senegal to draw on the African genius to practice a dialogue rooted in the existence of the Senegalese people. Through this approach, it is possible to break down ethnic and religious barriers in order to open up a new horizon of brotherhood and human development.
