About Our Speaker

He is the editor of the Journal of Ecumenical Studies and president of the Dialogue Institute – Interreligious, Intercultural, International.

Global Dialogue
The Age of Global Dialogue is a radically new consciousness which fundamentally shifts the ways we understand everything in life, including religion. This global dialogical way of understanding life does not lead to one global religion, but it does lead toward a consciously acknowledged common set of ethical principles, a Global Ethic.
