"""""This remarkable book offers wise insights and practices to help us make the critical move from tolerance and respect of the other to actually celebrating differences in religion, culture, and race."""" --Jamal Rahman, author of Spiritual Gems of Islam """"This book is a wonderful contribution to the literature reflecting on accepting the 'other, ' a major issue in our era of diversity. It is to be especially commended for reflecting Canadian religious issues and Canadian diversity, including indigenous people. The reader will be treated to different approaches to diversity including biblical exegesis, cinema, reflection on court cases, neuropsychology, and theology. Overall, a thoughtful and valuable collection."""" --Alan Brill, Seton Hall University """"The great strength of this volume of essays is that the authors engage the positive resources of their particular faith traditions for the sake of friendship, love of neighbor, and a more compassionate world. Religions have not always construed outsiders with generosity; however, these authors--with fidelity to their own deep faith commitment--do! What a hopeful volume."""" --Richard R. Topping, Vancouver School of Theology"
