Welcome to the Trialogue Foundation.
The aim of the Trialogue Foundation is to stimulate the dialogue and Trialogue between the Abrahamitic faith groups, Judaism, Christianity and Islam; with the emphasis on world peace, which depends on peace between religions.
The Trialogue Foundation tries to reach this through lectures, workshops and discussions and by publishing books and lessons.

The Trialogue Foundation has a Board, as well as an Advisory Committee of experts from the three traditions; see also the index page.
Furthermore Dr.Francien van Overbeeke-Rippen is connected to the Foundation. She is a pedagogue and a theologian. In 1998 she completed a doctorate on the relationship Islam-Christianity. Before that she worked alongside her husband on a development project in Pakistan for five years. To contribute to the dialogue and trialogue she gives lectures and workshops, leads discussion groups, writes books and creates educational lessons in English and Dutch.

'Abraham and Ibrahim' published in USA.
Bridge Resources of the Presbyterian Church of America has published the English translation of the Dutch Ibrahim en Abraham (written by Francien van Overbeeke-Rippen), with a new Study Guide based upon the American teaching methods, written by Kenneth and Margaret Thomas. They tell about it:
The book was used for religious education in schools in the Netherlands. The stories from the Bible and the Qur'an are presented side-by-side to invite dialogue and exploration into the faiths of Christianity and Islam.
The book is divided into eight units (of stories, each story with its references to Bible and Qur'an), and a Study Guide for each unit plus resource are found in the back of the book. Abraham and Ibrahim: The Bible and the Qur'an Told to Children can be used in classrooms, as a part of a mid-week program, or in individual homes. Each session comes with two options: one session for Muslim and Christian children together, and one session for Christian children. Designed primarily for older elementary children (ages 8-10), this resource can be used with people of all ages as a tool to become more mature in their own faith by becoming knowledge about the faith of their friends.
The text of Abraham and Ibrahim is positioned on the pages to reflect the sources. The text on the left is from the Bible, the text on the right is from the Qur'an, and the text in the middle is from both.

Film
The Trialogue Foundation has co-operated with 'Initiatives of Change' to get the DVD The Imam and the Pastor subtitled in Dutch. This is a 40 min. DVD about peace and reconciliation between two fighting faith groups in Nigeria.

Good News!
2008 has been a remarkable year for the imam and the pastor. They toured the world to show their movie and bring their message. Both went to Kenya twice after the violence during the voting in the beginning of 2008. Followed by Canada, the west coast, to work with different kind of ethnical groups in seven cities. Inspired by these groups, imam Soharwardy decided to start in Calgary with a six month 'walk for peace' throughout Canada to call upon Muslims en Christians to be against violence.
In April and May were the premieres of the movie, showing in Geneva, Paris and then Berlin in two languages; French and German. The Swiss broadcast company showed the movie in the German and Italian language.
In the fall imam Soharwardy and the pastor flew together to Australia for a three week trip. They made many speeches and conferences explaining their motivation. A local television company was among them to record and broadcast an interview. 'Although we are not completely agreeing when discussing our faith, we are children of Abraham and sons of Adam and as such we owe each other something. The biggest problem is ignorance', said the imam and the pastor. On their way back from Australia they visited Cyprus, where they gave a conference at the yearly held 'World Prayer for Peace', organized by the Roman Catholic St.Egidio community and the Greek Orthodox church.
The relation between the two groups in Nigeria is still tense. The inter religion negotiation center in Kaduna is standing by and ready to interact if an ethnic-religious conflict starts. Teams of imams and reverents are sent, trained by the imam and the pastor.
