Faster, deeper & higher than ever before for all!!
So let's be together on these frontierlines of theology, exploring new ways of doing theology: our mutual approaches are characterized by a tentative seeking how to do justice both to Christian tradition as well as to the religious traditions of humankind. For this reason, the word 'towards' often occurs in our writings:
'towards a theology of religions'; 'towards dialogical relationships.' Our thoughts are mainly expressed in articles, a few monographs, books & speaches. I don't want to get lost in too many names or divisions, sectarianism. churches, traditions & superficial appearances but will try to keep things as simple as is hu-manly possible for anyone.
Still, it is legitimate to speak about certain models of interreligious dialogue & theology of religions.
After all this has been what has been happening all along the line from the earliest times imaginable as far as I know inbetween Genesis & the Apocalypse. Our main aim is not fixation on one time or place, but fruit-ful exploration for as many people as possible all around the world, & every stage in this process is thus equally worthwhile. In the theoretical description & analysis of our methods of approaching religious pluralism, we come across crucial theological decisions. When closereading some attitudes to these religiously pluralist situations, an entire constellation of theological presuppositions & basic assumptions can so be noticed again & again. This constellation of reasoned ideas, intuitions, and not easy to prove insights can be called a paradigm: in our move towards a pluralist theology of religions, every one of us is equeally responsible as an important advocate of this paradigmatic shift from inclusivist to pluralist approaches that are now more and more, faster than ever before, becoming part of Christian {a.o.} theology ...
In other words: whatever we feel, think, say, write, experience/share with each other is equally important.
