Summary:

Breaking new ground, this book shows how the lived faith encounters between people from different religious backgrounds impact on all aspects of modern society and how vital it is to engage constructively with religious and cultural diversity. From the work at the St Philip's Centre in Leicester, this collection of case studies shows how people from different religious backgrounds with different ethical convictions have learnt to co-exist peacefully. Without shying away from the conflicts and challenges that have occurred, the book focuses on the many lessons learnt, offering real examples of how to promote positive interfaith relationships.
