“A Common Word” neither proposes concrete steps nor suggests a method or procedure for advancing its program. An ethically-focused dialogue would furnish a platform for engaging contemporary concerns about religion's role in international affairs. One example is the Global Ethic project of Catholic theologian Hans Küng. The Global Ethic posits that there are common ethical norms embedded in every historical religious tradition, such as the respect for life, repudiation of violence, truthfulness, integrity in personal relationships, and honesty in daily affairs. This ethic is motivated by the conviction that inter-religious understanding is a sine qua non for peace among nation-states. Keywords: ChristianityIslamTheologyPoliticsGlobalization
