“The Church urges her sons and daughters to enter with prudence and charity into discussion and collaboration with members of other religions. Let Christians, while witnessing to their own faith and way of life, acknowledge, preserve and encourage the spiritual and moral truths among non-Christians, also their social life and culture”. Pope Paul VI, Nostra Aetate (Declaration on the Relation of the Church to Non-Christian Religions), 1965, n.2
