Signposts: Quakers exploring interfaith

Interfaith explorations are based on the understanding that people of all religions are on an adventure into the world of Spirit. But our different contexts and our different personalities ensure we follow different paths. Interfaith celebrates those differences and the different perceptions and insoghts that come from them. Yet there is a commonality. In an evolving variety of ways humanity has always attempted to step outside itself to achieve trascendence into a new way of being. Increasing globalisation brings people of different faiths together in all manner of new ways. Interfaith expressions then become more vital to learn tolerance, bond communities and build relationships. There is only one planet-earth; humanity is one species; we seek unity. 'Signposts' tells the stories of how some Quakers have explored interfaith encounters and come to new understandings. Programmes of talks and visits, worship, walks, eating meetings, celebrations, witnessing against injustice, and music-making, show rich possibilities for action.
