Getting to Heart of Interfaith: The Eye-Opening, Hope-Filled Friendship of a Pastor, a Rabbi & an Imam
A deeply personal journey to interfaith collaboration that offers hope for an inclusive and healing way of being together in the world.
Too often religion seems to fuel more hatred than love, more conflict than collaboration. Interfaith Talk Radio's "interfaith amigos"—a pastor, a rabbi and an Imam—provide a rich understanding of the road to interfaith collaboration by sharing their stories, challenges and the inner spiritual work necessary to go beyond tolerance to a vital, inclusive spirituality.
From their deep commitment and lived experience, they present ways we can work together to transcend the differences that have divided us historically. Together they explore:
- The five stages of the interfaith journey
- The power of our stories
- The core of our traditions
- The promises and problems of our traditions
- New dimensions of spiritual identity
- And much more
Along with inspiring insights and encouragement for tapping into the promise of interfaith dialogue, they provide practical actions, additional readings and discussion questions to help you embody their revolutionary spirit of healing.
