Too often, religion seems to fuel more hatred than love, more conflict than collaboration, but for three “interfaith amigos”—a rabbi, a pastor, and a sheikh—their relationship goes to the heart of interfaith understanding and embodies a revolutionary spirit of healing. They speak openly about the difficult matters, and the need to do the inner spiritual work in order to go beyond tolerance and intellectual understanding to a vital, inclusive spirituality. From their deep commitment and lived experience, they present ways we can work together to transcend the differences that have divided us historically.
