4:00-5:00: Wrapping it all up. Questions to be asked and discussed in group setting include the following. How does interfaith dialogue work? Why does it work, and why is interfaith dialogue important? How can interfaith dialogue be improved? How can it become more integrated with politics and public policy? What role will you, the participant, play in interfaith dialogue?
