Abstract
"Since New Testament times the question of Christianity's relation to other religions has been important And then, as now, a number of theological responses can be discerned. Today, living in a pluralistic society- with other religions as well as secular movements - Christians cannot ignore the question of their attitudes to these other faiths. Their attitudes will determine a host of major issues: should Buddhist meditation groups be allowed the use of Church halls; how should religious education be taught; what kind of social and political co-operation is permissible with people of other faiths? There are also fundamental theological issues at stake. If salvation is possible outside Christianity, what form should mission take? What is the significance of Christ and the meaning of the Church? What can Christians learn from these other faiths? Can Christianity be enriched rather than diluted or polluted from this encounter?"
