                             IS BI-RELIGIOSITY POSSIBLE
      There are two kinds of interreligious dialogue: the dialogue of religions that have different symbol systems, and the dialogue of religions that adhere to the same system of symbols, but make different choices within that system. The author proposes that bi-religiosity is not possible within the same symbol system, but is possible when the symbol systems are different. The author provided an English translation.
