Ok. I usually don't say this about NCR articles, but this is quite good. For ecumenical dialogue to bear fruit, you need interlocutors are both knowledgeable of and deeply committed to, their own tradition. Only then can differing traditions come together in what philosopher Emmanuel Falque calls "the loving struggle." If everyone is wishy-washy about their own faith, then it merely becomes a "kumbaya" event with very little substance.
