Dialogue For Diversity

Respect for All in Society

Dialogue For Diversity was set up in Northern Ireland in 2009 by Irish and British Jesuits and others.

Our aim is to respect the dignity of everyone by listening, supporting, encouraging, analysing, and lobbying for this, together with marginalised communities.

In Northern Ireland some want to remain part of the UK, some want a United Ireland, and some want something different. Whatever our goal, we believe that all of us are all called to commit ourselves to the others living in this area. That means confronting sectarianism, and learning to live with people who differ in their identity and needs from us.

Confronting the climate catastrophe is central, because unless we save the planet it does not matter what kind of political structure we have. In this we find inspiration in Pope Francis’ letter Laudato Si’ (Praise Be To You).
