The world is at a crossroads. We have reached a point where almost every person in the world is coming to realise the depth of the religious diversity that surrounds us. Buddhists, Hindus and Muslims, for example, are showing up in appreciable numbers in small and medium size towns, not just urban centers. Patterns of immigration, among other factors, have bought us to a dramatic cultural shift. This practical guide to the key methods and resources of the interfaith movement will help you effectively engage people of other faith traditions in discussing religious beliefs and practices in order to increase understanding and acceptance. Drawing on the knowledge and experience of interfaith leaders from a variety of faith traditions - Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Baha'i, Jainism, Shinto, Sikhism, Taoism, Zoroastrianism - this comprehensive resource provides practical ideas for connecting with people of all faiths and all backgrounds through common concerns and activities that promote respect and support. It enables communities rich with diversity to work together to create paths towards peace and justice.…
