Something that living in a different culture taught me years ago; When two or more of us start a dialogue with different assumptions, we very often reach different conclusions. It is best to outline our underlying assumptions in advance. They the other(2) know "where we are coming from" and it helps to make the dialogue more productive.:

During one graduate course I took in TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language), we had some sort of cultural simulation game called Bafa Bafa (I think that's what it was called). That is precisely what that simulation was all about, and I thought of it often later on during my life as an expat in Japan, South Korea, and the UAE. Come to think of it, I suppose it would come in handy right now in dealing with religious sorts.
