| Fall 2006: Interreligious Dialogue Editors: Donald J Goergen, OP and Patricia Walter, OP Lead Author: Scott Steinkerchner, OP Responders: Sr. Miriam Scheel, OP, Tarianne DeYonker, OP, and Karen Woods, OPL Artwork: S. Irene Mary Diones, OP Excerpt: Often, the first impulse in interreligious dialogue is to look for common ground, places where we can agree, with a belief that we can build from there. Time and again, however, experience shows us that these promising starts frequently fall apart when the more stubborn differences refuse to yield to syntheses acceptable to all parties. |

It is Jesus' love to the point of death, rather than death itself, which is salvific. |

Rowan Williams on Radcliffe's essays:
"They embody an extraordinary breadth of
experience, and often speak from some of

with great personal honesty and a certain
lightness of touch."
