nella apertura trascendente dell’umanità

Da Italiano a Inglese Arte/Letteratura Cinema, Film, TV, Teatro
The original sentence:
Operatori della comunicazione cristiani, ebrei e mussulmani, sono convinti che sia maturato il tempo di dar vita ad una comune iniziativa che consenta di ideare e di produrre programmi informativi e di intrattenimento, graditi ed attesi da uomini e donne che credono in Dio, e nella apertura trascendente dell’umanità nel terzo millennio.

My attempt:
Operators working with Christian, Jewish and Muslim media/comunicazione are convinced the time has come to begin a joint initiative to create and produce information and entertainment programs that men and women who believe in God expect and would enjoy, in the transcendant openness of humanity.

I don't feel like "the transcendant openness of humanity" really means anything. How can this be translated??

in humanity's transcending openness

Oh boy!

What they mean are people who believe in God and this, which presumably is an ecumenical attitude that prizes spirituality over specific religious distinctions. So humans' common receptivity to others. (Someone must want to make some money by marketing to them all as one group!) So, they do mean openness of people to other forms of religious expression, and, vecause it is flowery and vague int he Italian already, I fear there isn't a way to de-cheese the expression without making it garbled or verbose. But perhaps other posters will offer better suggestions?
Peer comment(s):

neutral Oliver Lawrence : you deserve the points just for using the word "de-cheese" :)
