Rabbi Raymond Apple AO RFD
Healing Rifts Between Religions

The symbolism of religions meeting together will not be lost on the general public, who tend to blame religion for all the ills of the contemporary world. Bearing in mind that in Australia the ordinary person is John Citizen, and that in Judaism there is a saying, Go out and see what the people do (Berachot 45a), let us, at least notionally, go out and see what John Citizen has to say about interfaith gatherings. I suspect that every John (and Jane) Citizen will make the same comment: Why do religions fight when they have so much in common? Wouldn’t the world calm down if the religions could unite and live at peace? John and Jane Citizen have a point, but it is not so easy. Religious commonalities have decided limitations.
