Interfaith Dialogue in Antwerp

۞ After the murder of a Muslim teacher in Antwerp (Belgium), a priest, a rabbi, and an imam decided to get together to have a talk. They called the initiative ’Trialogue’, and aimed at a friendly dialogue between the different faiths in order to talk about a diversity of subjects with religious and social relevance.

We had a talk with the priest, Hendrik Hoet, about this project, and about modern-day Christianity.
