We read slowly.
And aloud.

Fraternity Circle is an interfaith fellowship founded by Dunaj Instytut Dialogu. We come as Muslims, Jews, and Christians — rooted in our own traditions, and curious about one another.

A text. A table. An encounter.

Friendship begins with listening.

Scriptural Reasoning does not require a single reading of a text. Someone reads aloud, there is time to reflect, then space for questions and conversation.

People bring different experiences to the table. Our purpose is understanding, with space for theological differences and without pressure to change anyone's faith.

Moments of friendship and connection
Together at the 2025 camp.

Vision

Bridges between people.

A world where diverse faith communities engage in respectful dialogue, deepen understanding, and work together for lasting peace.

Mission

Read together. Stay in the room.

We make space for interfaith encounters through Scriptural Reasoning: shared reading, questions, and mutual learning.

Values

Honesty is hospitality.

Respect, intellectual honesty, curiosity, and hospitality. Understanding difference begins with allowing it to be heard.

Dunaj Instytut Dialogu

Our roots.

Our work grows from Dunaj Institute's commitment to intercultural encounter, education, and peace. It is inspired by Hizmet — service to humanity — and the teachings of Fethullah Gülen.
