This book consists of an English and a German part. All presentations have also been translated into German, but in case of doubt the English version applies. The PowerPoint slides for the presentations in which the speaker used this medium are shown between the two parts.
The contributions in this book originate largely from the two panels organized by the Research for Interfaith and Intercultural Harmony
(RIIFH.com) of „Christians in Need" at the 8th annual conference of the European Academy of Religions (EuARe). RIFFH has set itself the goal of using the concrete experiences of the grassroots work of Christians in Need (cin.international) to provide suggestions for improving the success of academic dialog between religions. Academic work can only be of benefit to global society if it is also connected to the concrete living conditions of religious people.
A dialog in the ivory tower will not be effective.
Therefore, the two panels that RIIFH contributed to the success of the EuARe conference in Vienna from July 8-12, 2025 are a central contribution to the success of interreligious dialog.
The unsettled global society, driven by violence and the return of fundamentalism, is facing a paradigm shift. Organizations such as the UN and the OSCE are being put to the test. Dialogue and diplomacy are repeatedly silenced by violence.
