“ . . . Interfaith Dialogue at the Grass Roots answers a common question in a concrete way: ‘Is interfaith dialogue only for religious leaders and scholars?’ The answer is, ‘No – it’s a movement that everyone can and should participate in.’ The pieces in Mays’ volume are examples of interfaith work in a variety of ways and in a range of contexts, from the United States to Macedonia to Indonesia. The pieces are well-written and introduced by one of the most important scholars in the field, Leonard Swidler.”
