Which of the following is a response to increasing diversity of religions in Australia? (A) The Uniting Church (B) Inter-faith dialogue (C) The ecumenical movement (D) Non-denominational services - HSC - SSCE Studies of Religion - Question 10 - 2003 - Paper 1

To determine which option represents a response to increasing diversity of religions in Australia, we must analyze each choice:

• The Uniting Church: While it plays a significant role in the Australian religious landscape, it does not specifically address the increasing diversity of religions.

• Inter-faith dialogue: This is a direct response to religious diversity, as it promotes understanding and cooperation among different faith traditions, making it a suitable answer.

• The ecumenical movement: This aims at increasing unity among Christian denominations and does not necessarily address the diversity of religions as a whole.

• Non-denominational services: These services are inclusive but do not inherently respond to the diversity of various world religions.

Thus, the most relevant response to the question is (B) Inter-faith dialogue.
