The Faith Club
The Faith Club: A Muslim, A Christian, A Jew--Three Women Search for Understanding, by Ranya Idliby, Suzanne Oliver, and Priscilla Warner
These three women initially got together after the 9/11 attacks to write a children's book that explored the common heritage of their three religions. These meetings turned into an honest and deep interfaith dialogue through which they shared their insecurities about their own faiths and talked about stereotypes and prejudices they had against other religions. As a Hindu, I certainly learned concepts about each of these religions which I had previously been unfamiliar with. It would be great to hear a similar dialogue which also included other major religions (like Hinduism, Buddishm, Bahá'í, Taoism, etc.).
