The Catholic Church rejects nothing that is true and holy in these religions. She regards with sincere reverence those ways of conduct and of life, those precepts and teachings which, though differing in many aspects from the ones she holds and sets forth, nonetheless often reflect a ray of that Truth which enlightens all men.
Nostra Aetate 2
Westminster Interfaith is the agency in the Diocese that oversees interreligious dialogue. Practicing the Church’s call to interreligious dialogue can help us to see people of other religions not in opposition to us, but in relation to us. It is a teaching that encourages Catholics to view everyone ‘created, as they are, in the image of God’ (Nostra Aetate, 1965, §5).
Founded in 1981, Westminster Interfaith works to live out this call to promote dialogue, respect and collaboration between Catholics and the followers of other religions in the Diocese of Westminster.
