Guidelines on Interreligious Dialogue for Catholics in Japan
Compiled by The Catholic Bishops’Conference of Japan Subcommittee for Interreligious Dialogue

This book is the English version of “カトリック教会の諸宗教対話の手引き実践Q&A” published by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Japan on November 9, 2009.

In Japan where the number of Christians is extremely low, Catholics frequently have contact with followers of various religions and attend other religions’ events. We are often puzzled or bewildered on those occasions. It must be especially hard for foreign residents, who are not familiar with Japanese unique rituals, customs, and manners, to make a decision. This book offers clear answers to various kinds of problems in the form of questions and answers. During the English version’s compiling process, several illustrations and others were suitably added to help you understand.
