I like ravens. Wonderful creatures. There is a Raven Master at the Tower of London, tasked with caring for the birds and ensuring that the legend which says, when the ravens leave the Tower the kingdom will fall, never comes to pass. Must be the coolest job in England that. Only ex soldiers can apply.

The Tower of London Ravenmaster - Historic UK

I served in the US Navy for 10 years.... Can I apply? Or must it be in the service of Her Majesty?

I'm game. Or Jagermeister.

From Wikipedia: Jägermeister:

Jägermeister's ingredients include 56 herbs, fruits, roots, and spices, including citrus peel, licorice, anise, poppy seeds, saffron, ginger, juniper berries, and ginseng.[14] These ingredients are ground, then steeped in water and alcohol for two to three days. This mixture is filtered and stored in oak barrels for about a year. Then the liqueur is filtered again, and mixed with sugar, caramel and alcohol.​

Never had it - never even heard of it - but I promise you that I will try it before this week's over (assuming I can find it at our local liquor store).

It's syrupy, dark, and tastes like licorice/anise.

If want to mess up your head/body, mix it with a redbull haha.

I like it. It definitely has a strong, unique flavor

See, to me saying that is like saying pizza tastes like oregano. You can taste it there, sure, but there is way more to it going on.

Perhaps for you, nothing, although that woulld strike me as rather sad.
And, what is that in interfaith chatter unusual that makes one happy but makes one sad in interfaith friendly and peaceful dialogue, please? Right?

What benefits beyond 'Peace building' (as mentioned in the linked wikipedia article), do interfaith or interpath or interreligious people get? What is the stick? What is the carrot?

Does anybody have any success stories about neat little things they get out of it? Recipes maybe or ideas or something?

*peers suspiciously*

Can't tell if you're being serious, so at the risk of playing a straight bat to a googly...

Religion serves a variety of roles. Culture carrier is one. Upholder of traditional values or wisdoms. Provider of structure and order. Lots of stuff.

Whilst this varies to some degree from culture to culture, there are lots of common ground concepts.

Some faiths there will enormous amounts of overlap, and they can unify to discuss how to keep their messages relevant to youth without losing their core values. Or even if it's desirable and appropriate to try and do so. Should they involve themselves in local politics? What is the best way to help with homelessness? What does their religion stare around global issues on climate? Refugees?

The carrot is increase comprehension of our fellow man, and the ability to collaborate on common ground issues.
The 'stick' is basically the negative impact failing to do so has on all of us.

And hopefully received by the 'rank and file'.

there is at present little interest in interfaith dialogue beyond superficial academics or from a distance.

Fundamentalism of extreme belief and violence is becoming more common in recent years.

At present faiths like the Baha'i Faith, some forms of Buddhism and Unitarians from the humanist perspective appear to be alone in the quest for a deeper dialogue in the search for tolerance, unity in the diversity of human beliefs,
