Humans everywhere breathe the same air freely given by a benevolent creator. They receive light daily from the sun and moon and stars and share the goodness of natural resources from a good God. Yet many people fight in the name of God and religion at this day and age, killing fellow humans, disposing them of their homes and resources, denying their rights to existence and using all forms of violence and persecutions to oppress fellow humans, all, in the name of God. CLOSED Crass Ignorance, Intolerance, Fundamentalism, wickedness and Pride are some of the reasons why Interreligious and interfaith dialogue/collaboration remain elusive, despite all that history pages reach. It is time, indeed the urgency is now, for all to rededicate their good and positive energies to the ideals of fostering our cultural, theological, human and spiritual abilities to build communities of peace, justice and charity through the humble search for truth built on the dialogue of religions and interfaith. Despite the recent historical intrusion of modernity and colonial novelties into Africa, the African peoples still have a lot to share with the rest of humanity of its culturally rooted experiences in a community philosophy built around the Ubuntu understanding and way of life that tries to include all and exclude none.
