A guide to interfaith peacemaking from a Quaker perspective, edited
by Anthony Manousos.This handbook consists of writings by Quakers
who have played significant roles in the interfaith movement and
have helpful advice and insights to offer. While this book is
mainly intended for Quakers, we hope it will be useful for all who
are concerned about interfaith peacemaking and dialogue.
Contributors include Alexander Kern, Gene Hoffman, Kay Lindahl,
Michael Birkel, Stephanie Crumley-Effinger, Rhoda Gilman, Michael
Sells, Sallie King, Rachel Stacy, Jim Cason, Richard Bellin, Pablo
Stanfield, Max Carter, David Rush, and Tim Sallinger. "With its
numerous advices, spiritual queries, and clear examples, this book
is a wonderful, engaging guide to the challenging yet essential
work of interreligious dialogue for those of us living in a world
all too frequently disrupted by religious violence. It is filled
with an eminently practical wisdom that can stimulate Friends and
others to consider how we, too, may become involved in working
toward interreligious understanding and harmony. Highly recommended
reading for aspiring peacemakers in the 21st century " -Stephen W.
Angell, Leatherock Professor of Quaker Studies at the Earlham
School of Religion. "The 18C Quaker sage, John Woolman, spoke about
'the language of the pure Spirit, which inwardly moves upon the
heart.' In the 21 C, Anthony Manousos and others in this marvellous
volume have wisely discerned that the Spirit is leading us to
interfaith dialogue and understanding. The distinctive way of being
religious in our time is to be interreligious. I am grateful that
the contributors to this volume are leading the way in that
urgently needed and transformative endeavor."-Joseph Prabhu,
Professor of Philosophy, Cal State Los Angeles. Ex-president,
Society of Asian and Comparative Philosophy. Member, Executive
Committee, Parliament of the World's Religions.
