A GUIDE TO COMMON ISSUES IN INTER-RELIGIOUS RELATIONS (Revised)
Issued by National Council of Churches of Singapore

August 2008

Foreword

The National Council of Churches of Singapore is pleased to issue these guidelines to our churches as we continue to serve God and help contribute to peace and harmony in our nation.

These guidelines were first issued in 2003. They have been revised to bring them up-to-date. A few new issues have surfaced and these have been addressed and added in the revision.

These practical guidelines show how we as Christians can relate to our fellow Singaporeans who belong to other religious faiths in a positive and constructive way.

We commend them to our churches for their reflection and action, and to the glory of God. I wish to thank those who contributed to the original edition, and those who did the revision and helped put the material together. To them we owe a debt of gratitude.

Most Revd Dr John Chew
President National Council of Churches of Singapore
& Bishop of Singapore
