The initiative has arisen from a group of representatives of different Christian denominations with members in Spain and aims, among its objectives, to ensure the right to religious freedom of believers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Anglican Cathedral of the Redeemer in Madrid hosted the constitution of the Bureau of Interfaith Dialogue of Spain. The act was centered on the reading of a Communiqu\u00e9 of constitution and its signature by all the Christian confessions that form part of this Table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main purposes of this Bureau, according to the note published on the occasion of its constitution, are \"to promote dialogue and collaboration for the common good among the Christian confessions present in Spain in those issues that are appropriate. To watch over and work to guarantee the adequate exercise of the fundamental right to religious freedom of believers and to contribute fundamental values to society, highlighting the capacity of the Christian faith to build bridges between people\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All this through \"respectful, sincere and constructive\" institutional dialogue, collaboration in areas of common interest and even \"the exchange of resources, when possible according to their own doctrines\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
