The world's greatest need:
According to the International Society
for Science & Religion, Granada in Spain was a major center of peaceful
discourse among followers of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. However, this
activity was phased out in the late 15th century. We feel that the world's greatest need in the area of religion is a
re-creation of that center for tripartite dialogue in the form of a Council of Christians, Jews
and Muslims. It would promote serious dialogue among those world's religions whose
members cause the most
religiously-motivated violence, mass murder and genocide. Branches are needed at
the international, national, state/province, and local levels.
Unfortunately, such a council does not exist. We have found two activities in this
general area. We suspect that both are hopelessly under-funded:

An Academy for Judaic, Christian, and Islamic Studies is
located
at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). But it appears to
keep a very low profile, at least on the Internet. They have produced
a book in 1994:
Benjamin J. Hubbard, et al, "The Abraham Connection: A Jew, Christian
and Muslim in Dialogue (Church and the World, Vol 6)" Read
reviews or order this book safely from Amazon.com online book store. See
below for more interfaith book options. Most deal with interfaith
relationships and marriages.

The International Scholars Annual Trialogue (ISAT) is a group
of academics representing three Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity,
and Islam who have been meeting annually since 1989. They hope that a "continuing
dialogue can be built, contributing to the 'Dialogue of Civilizations' and
a Global Ethic, so desperately needed in today's rapidly globalizing
world." See:
http://global-dialogue.com/trialogue.htm A book describes ISAT
activity: Leonard Swidler, Ed., "Theoria - Praxis. How Jews, Christians,
Muslims Can Together Move From Theory to Practice," Leuven Peeters
(1998).
