Summary/Abstract: On daily basis we witness different types of conflicts, misunderstandings, hatred and zealotry among people, culture and religion. In today’s times of globalization and technological advancement, Man was left forgotten and his religious communities have stretched far away from one another. Through this essay authors will try to show, based on the example of the Project World Ethos, that the hope still lingers and that the development of inter-religious dialog is not only a mere possibility but that it is achievable throughout open-mindedness and responsibility. The goal of this essay is to give a different kind of look in crossing the gap between various religions and trying to cut down the obstacles between them by achieving inter-religious dialog. That different look that was mentioned earlier is not new in terms of religion or movement. Project World Ethos was created and started by Hans Küng, theologian and philosopher born in Switzerland who spent most of his life working and living in Germany. In the end, direction of this work is not only to show great achievements made by the Project, but also to criticize it as well, in search for answers.
