'A work that is both challenging and optimistic, Where We Dwell in Common pushes all those who are involved in ecumenical and inter-faith dialogue to think creatively and act boldly in the pursuit of genuine progress. The multiplicity of voices from around the world not only speak to the urgency of the task but also promote new ways, means, and methods for advancing dialogue between and amongst communities and traditions.' - Linda Hogan, Vice-Provost/Chief Academic Officer and Professor of Ecumenics, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland

'Almost everywhere we see the rise of violence, often in the name of religion, and a vast surge of people migrating to escape war and poverty. If our societies are to avoid implosion, we need to learn how to dialogue fruitfully with people of other religious traditions or none. This stimulating book offers rich insights into how this may happen.' - Timothy Radcliffe, Director, Las Casas Institute of Blackfriars, University of Oxford, UK
