Harnessing Unresolvable Difference Across Abrahamic Faiths to Resolve Religion-Related Tangible Conflicts
Abstract:
Inherent across the three Abrahamic faiths are unresolvable theological differences. To resolve religion-related tangible conflicts may require great and respected leaders to build capacity for holding to their beliefs while simultaneously holding in mind sometimes contradictory and even seemingly unassailable beliefs of adherents of other religions. The power that would emerge as religious leaders achieve civic fusion, defined as bonding to solve a common public problem, even as they sustain deep value differences, could be harnessed to resolve tangible conflicts.
