Description
This book is a practical guide to the core issues and challenges facing churches in their engagement with those of other faiths. The resource does not seek to cover all the issues in-depth but provides a broad sweep touching on key issues so that churches can gain confidence and be guided towards practical, relational engagements and projects informed by a distinctly Christian ethos. Each chapter suggests practical activities and further resources for those wanting to explore further. The resource aims to be earthed in real life, accessible in style, biblically rooted and professionably credible.
