The image of \u201cbells and muezzin in harmony\u201d evokes a peaceful coexistence in which each tradition keeps its own voice: firmness in faith is not an obstacle to dialogue but its foundation. Set within a dossier on Christianity\u2019s relation to the other religions, Judaism and Islam, the article places interreligious encounter within the horizon of a properly spiritual responsibility, rather than a mere diplomatic exercise.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read the article (subscription required): <a href=\"https:\/\/www.herder.de\/hk\/hefte\/spezial\/papa-leone\/glocken-und-muezzin-im-einklang-der-dialog-mit-dem-islam-als-geistliche-verantwortung\/\"><strong>herder.de<\/strong><\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":13367,"template":"","class_list":["post-35132","article","type-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"date_tournage":"","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Bells and Muezzin in Harmony: Dialogue with Islam as a Spiritual Responsibility - Pluriel<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/pluriel.fuce.eu\/article\/bells-and-muezzin-in-harmony-dialogue-with-islam-as-a-spiritual-responsibility\/?lang=en\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Bells and Muezzin in Harmony: Dialogue with Islam as a Spiritual Responsibility - Pluriel\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Article by Timo G\u00fczelmansur published under the title Glocken und Muezzin im Einklang.
