全球化過程中宗教扮演極重要的角色。宗教影響個人、團體、民族、國家極深，因為宗教價值直接觸及靈魂核心，主宰人的行為。基督宗教代表西方的強勢文化，隨著殖民活動而傳遍全球。中世紀時發起十字軍，箝制教民思想，引發各種反應。1962-1965年天主教梵二大公會議轉換了以往教會遵行的典範，願意向非基督宗教開放、學習、為改造社會合作。隨後三十餘年，神學家循著梵二的指標深入研究對話的模式，而發展出成全、互益、接受等模式，使基督徒愈來愈開放，包容和接納差異。然而在實際的世界上，是否對話理論發生影響，還值得考慮。或許現實考核理論，但天主教的對話信念絕不會回頭走了。希望這份善意和決心能感染其他宗教，尤其伊斯蘭教，共為對話努力，使全球化能更順利推行。

　　　　　Christianity was famous for its rigid, absolute claim, which caused the Crusades in the Middle Ages. However the dialectical theology of excluding the value of non-Christian religions was changed to dialogical theology by Vatican II (1962-1965). Since then, theologians have developed different theories and modes to promote dialogue between Christians and non-Christians. The modes are the fulfillment model, the mutuality model and the acceptance model. However, the theories do not necessarily correspond to reality. So, the question remains how dialogical theology can achieve consensus among different world religions, specially with the Moslems. Whether it is possible to have these two big religions engaged in real dialogue is a challenge for all who are concerned with the subject.
