Conflicts today regularly break out along religious fault lines, whether in Iraq , Israel-Palestine, Sudan, or elsewhere. This volume contains case studies of ways in which Mennonites have contributed to peacebuilding and reconciliation in multi-religious contexts and offers a theological rationale for interfaith collaboration.
"This volume provides compelling examples of costly, faithful, and creative witness across religious divides. Here are profound models for the church in mission and for advancing local and global security." - Ronald J. R. Mathies, Executive Director Emeritus, Mennonite Central Committee
"These honest, unpretentious stories reveal decades of Mennonite involvement in interfaith relationships. They should do much to dispel the popular idea that religion only makes conflicts worse." - Gayle Gerber Koontz, Professor of Theology and Ethics, Associated Mennonite Biblical Seminary
