IMAGE AND SONG AS INTER RELIGIOUS DIALOGUE




I have been very much thinking along the line that art forms can contribute to a dialogue between cultures, and faith commitments, which is more inclusive than discussions based on dogmatic beliefs. One can affirm and appreciated what is beautiful, and deeply spiritual in another Faith tradition, in a way that the fundamentalist purist who argues from a standpoint of dogmatic beliefs can’t do. Image and song touches an inner world of symbol, which can be shared by all. Here image and song speak to the heart, and arise from an experience of the Divine in the world.
