Abstract

In this chapter, I offer some concluding remarks as well as concrete suggestions that different religions should consider implementing as tools for celebrating the fruits of interreligious dialogue and encounters. One of these is what I have referred to as collaborative worship. I argue that if religious traditions agree that the holy can be found in other religions, then at the heart of one’s sacred space should be reserved a place of hospitality and friendship that leads to the well-being of the religious other. Furthermore, I call for Roman Catholics to embrace the sacred texts of other religious traditions and proclaim them during their own liturgies as a visible way of affirming the workings of the Holy Spirit in the traditions of non-Christian religions.
