Richard M.

The book encapsulates Richard's 30 years of pioneering work in the interfaith field. In the wake of the September 11, 2001 attack on the United States, this e-book has become valuable as a source. Beliefnet, the internet's foremost site for faith and religion, selected this e-book for companion material to its online interfaith dialogue mini-course. Richard has been a consultant and contributor to numerous interfaith dialogue groups in Canada and abroad.  He has been consulted by the White House and the UK Home Office on matters of faith.
