There is a roadmap for dialogue with Islam, and its three landmarks are peace, justice and education, says a leading bishop on the subject.
Bishop Miguel Ayuso Guixot, secretary of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, explained: "on a theological level, differences still remain, and they are known. Beyond any theological difference, however, we take each other's hand, to build together the common good."
There is a "diverse and rich dialogue with many Islamic institutions," the bishop told CNA Nov. 4.
Bishop Ayuso discussed how the dialogue with Islamic institutions is progressing. He gave special mention to the restoration of relations between the Holy See and the Al-Azhar mosque in Cairo, which, along with its companion university, is the most prominent institution of Sunni Islam.
