Faithful Neighbors outlines an introduction to the rationale for interfaith work through both theological and practical viewpoints, using stories from real experiences of interfaith cooperation to offer encouragement, inspiration, and practical steps to do the same. The book has eight chapters in three main sections. Section one provides a Christian and Muslim rationale for engaging with the Other. Section two outlines stories of those involved in interfaith work in a series of contexts: academic research, intercultural, pastoral care, youth work, and peace work. The concluding section details recommendations and resources for best practice. Faithful Neighbors exhorts both Muslims and Christians to be faithful neighbors drawing on their traditions and real life practice for the sake of life-giving community.

This book had good middle to high level experiences and logistics. Middle being a metropolitan area regular small-group dinners with theme and mainly new people each time. High being international conferences. It was a bit repetitive and positive. I'm always hoping for some negative moments to be shared as lessons in how to manage them. And someday a book more on low level, laity driven simple interfaith dialog events. The end discussion questions and further steps were very well done.
