Fideology: Building Trust through the Shared Experience of Faith at the Root of the World's Religions - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Fideology affirms that it is possible to build trust without the necessity of a common theology. Such “trust” building between nations and religions is essential to overcome the present “clash of civilizations.” We need not just a “global ethic,” but the practice of a global virtue, TRUST.

Unitarian minister Richard Boeke has been a pioneer in the interfaith movement since the 1950s. Holding graduate degrees from both Yale Divinity School and Columbia University, and a Doctor of Divinity from Pacific School of Religion, he studied with some of the leading theologians of the 20th Century, from Wilfred Cantwell Smith to Huston Smith--the latter with which he enjoyed a long friendship. Fate smiled upon his life journey to sow seeds of peace and experience a sense of oneness, leading him to real-life encounters with everyone from Pope Pius XII, to Jomo Kenyatta, Malcolm X, Erik Erickson, Charles Schultz, and Nancy Pelosi, as well as lasting friendships with Shinto priests, Muslim imams, and Sikhs. He was instrumental in furthering the mission of the International Association for Religious Freedom (IARF), and received the 2018 IARF Distinguished Service Award.

This collection of his writings captures his intellect and passion for building trust among peoples, and includes contributions by Reverend Harry H. Hoehler, Dr. John B. Taylor, and Roohi Majid.
