"dialogue" with three groups


Explanation:
dialogue involving three groups/patrties individuals - a neologism.

This has been used as the name of organizations such as:

http://www.trialog.or.at/
http://www.trialog.com/home/
http://3alog.net/

Some of these organizations are dedicated to interreligious dialogue, esp. between the three monotheistic religions.

tripartite dialogue/a coalition of...


Explanation:
"A coalition of the three most important religions, Islam, Christianity and Judaism" seems to me to be what would be most effective - dialogue alone usually gets you nowhere
