Religions are often blamed for hatreds and conflicts in many parts of the world.But this is a mistake.The encounter between religions is also a source of good news, as the reflections in this anthology from the perspective of the World Congress of Faiths demonstrate and celebrate.The creative potential in the dialogue and collaboration between religions entails that they need not be trapped in their own enclaves, but can value the rich diversity of different religious spiritualities for the sake of a shared human and planetary future.
