For the Roman Catholic Church beginning with Vatican
II, interreligious dialogue has been promoted as an
instrument to obtain mutual understanding. This has been
outlined in the document Nostra Aetate. The Bishops
of Myanmar, fully aware that interreligious dialogue is
highly necessary for witnessing the gospel of Jesus Christ
in this Buddhist-majority nation, have taken steps in their
respective dioceses to further promote this approach. This
paper is an analysis of the ways this has been implemented.
It will show that a positive attitude towards interreligious
dialogue must be developed in the lives of seminarians
while they are undergoing clerical training. As future
priests, seminarians should understand and advocate the
true meaning of dialogue with other religions in order to
carry out their missions seamlessly and successfully.
