In this book Laurence Freeman, Director of the World Community for Christian Meditation, describes a contemporary way forward for those committed to friendship between religious traditions: a new kind of dialogue nourished equally by silence and by words.
"The hope for the salvation of the world lies in the greatest number of wise people (The Book of Wisdom). Dialogue between religions and faith traditions - and the friendship that true dialogue grows - is an indispensable component for peace, properity and happiness in the new era now dawning on the human family... When religious traditions and spiritual wisdom transmissions meet at the depth level of contemplative experience a new consciousness is born."
