Abstract
Interfaith dialogue in the contemporary world is one of the
mostly advocated issues by moderate religious people.
Ecumenical activities are being carried out worldwide
either between people of the same faith; like Muslim to
Muslim or Christian to Christian dialogue; or among
people of different faith; like Muslim to Christian to
Jewish dialogue. To achieve this goal, various mediums
are being employed by different people at suitable time
and place. Mediums such as conferences, workshops,
debates and exchange of messages and letters are good
examples employed for interfaith dialogue. Currently, the
cyberspace is another medium employed and viewed by
some people as the best for interfaith dialogue. The
cyberspace on its own is used in different ways in this
regard. It is an all-encompassing medium which can be
used for conferences, workshops, debates and exchange of
letters. This brief survey looks at the role of cyberspace in
interfaith dialogue.

Key Words: Cyberspace, Interfaith, Dialogue
