Thus evangelisation , if understood in its proper and theological meaning, does not imply any attempt of proselytism whatsoever. On the other hand, the term mission, in its proper sense, is referred to conversion from false gods and idols to the true and one God, who revealed himself in the salvation history with his elected people. Thus mission, in this strict sense, cannot be used with regard to Jews, who believe in the true and one God. Therefore and this is characteristic- it does not exist any Catholic missionary organisation for Jews. It is also different from academic dispute, however important academic dispute may be within dialogue.
Dialogue implies personal commitments and witness of one s own conviction and faith.
Dialogue communicates one s faith and, at the same time, requires profound respect for the conviction and faith of the partner. It respects the difference of the other and brings mutual enrichment. Dominus Iesus is not the end of dialogue but a challenge for a further and even more intensive dialogue. We need this dialogue for our own identity and for the sake of the world. Together we must be ambassadors of peace and bring about Shalom .
