"If violent extremism exists - while accepting the need to defend oneself and especially those who are weak and persecuted - our response must be similarly radical, but one that is structurally different, by which I mean 'extremism in dialogue'!
Maria Voce, President of the Focolare Movement at the United Nations

A dialogue which requires the highest level of engagement, which is risky, demanding, challenging and which aims to sever the roots of incomprehension, fear and bitterness."

One cannot create an environment conducive to dialogue without being sensitive to the
absence of conditions for dialogue. !
A strong spiritual life is important, being part of a community or a group that constantly
nurture you on this sensitivity matters.

A leader of dialogue needs constant training, it is not something that you can simply switch on.
!
You need to be engaged within a spiritual community or a group which demands that you
always listen, learn to compromise and to re-engage with love. Without constant practice, a leader of dialogue will not be able to overcome
any crisis of faith during the process. !

At the end of the day, a leader of dialogue must be able to generate 'life' . It is essential to
generate desire in others to seek dialogue, and inspire them to do dialogue with other persons.
!
A leader of dialogue must know how to fade so that others can rise and become leaders of
dialogue. This requires creativity so as to sustain efforts of dialogue.
