This issue explores, from a fundamentally theological yet interdisciplinary lens, the indispensability of the spirit and practice of dialogue as a pathway towards growing into a more empathic and kind humanity, regardless of divisive dynamics and differences. The Church locates itself in this dynamic as a model that should first embody what she wishes to teach within itself, and a messenger sent out to the world to heal with openness, empathy, and receptivity. There is no growth in self-absorption, indifference, and discrimination. Authors confront issues on inter-religious dialogue, same sex attraction and chastity, dynamics of Generation Z, Mass Media, young people and their faith experiences, and climate change. These issues require continuous dialogue, to make inroads against indifference, marginalization, and discrimination.
