Multi-faith Britain: An Experiment in Common Worship - Softcover

The world's first ever specially-designed 'multi-faith centre' will open its doors in Derby, Spring 2002. To con-incide with this momentous project the man with the task of directing this centre, Mr David A Hart, has brought together those who have 'grasped the nettle and are practising interfaith dialogue in Britain today'. He has asked each of the participants to write about their experiences and expectations for the future. All those interested in examining what our own faiths say that is inclusive of others and helps us to understand elements of our common human story and the global faith treasury. For pluralists everywhere; to academics; theological students and lay/clergy training. The book will be of particular interest to those concerned with race relations in Britain today, bearing in mind the recent riots in the North of England.
