| Summary: | This article reflects a line of thinking that is integral to inter-religious dialogue and religious pluralism. It records a conversation of Gregory Baum's answer to the question as to whether Christians have a theological imperative to proselytize. It shows his answer as unfolding along lines that take into consideration God, Christ, and the Church to argue for the freedom of non-Christians to pursue their own religions. His answer is augmented by a distinction between a minority and a saturation model of the Church that the author recalls. |
