Interfaith Statements and Open Letters (Religious Legal Instruments)

Public statements, joint declarations and open letters in which religious leaders or scholars address leaders of other faiths, such as A Common Word Between Us and You, the open letter of Muslim scholars to Christian churches in 2007. An entry belongs here when its article presents a text of dialogue between communities. It excludes binding rulings, decrees and statutes. The group page lists texts of the same legal kind together so that a reader can compare how religious authority and state power are put into writing.
