- Contents divided into three sections: An Anglican Basis for Inter-Faith Encounters -- Guidelines for Interfaith Dialogue -- Selected Bibliography.
- "The Lambeth Conference of 1978 requested all members of the Anglican Communion to consider their position on the Christian relationship with people of other faiths. .... In 1983 the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada requested its Inter-Church and Inter-Faith Relations Committee `to present to the 1986 General Synod a paper on a Christian theological basis for an Anglican response to other faiths'. The following statement and guidelines have been drafted to serve as a common basis for our thinking on this topic". -- p. 1.
- "These guidelines are offered to Canadian Anglicans as they seek to reach out to their neighbours of other faiths. Our approach has two separate, but inter-related, aspects: dialogue, which includes growing in our knowledge of each other and a mutual sharing of spiritual insights; and common action which would involve joint efforts to deal with issues related to life together in society, but might also include activities of a devotional nature". -- p. 14.

- "Six men were killed and 19 others wounded when a gunman opened fire on worshippers at the mosque as they prayed shortly before 8 p.m. January 29, 2017. Alexandre Bissonette, a university student, has been charged with six counts of first-degree murder and five counts of attempted murder in relation to the attack. The January 29 shooting was commemorated through different events January 26-29 [2018], said Bruce Myers, bishop of the diocese of Quebec". "Quebec City Anglicans have also been helping support victims of the attack. In the immediate aftermath, the diocese, Myers says, contributed to a widows' and orphans' fund set up to support family members of the victims. More recently, Anglicans have lent their support to Aymen Derbali, a member of the mosque who was shot seven times while reportedly drawing the shooter's attention to himself in an attempt to save others". "Myers said the cathedral parish has designated its Christmas Eve offering to the fund -- according to Facebook post by cathedra; Dean Christian Schreiner, this totalled almost $900 -- and a fundraising concert is being organized in the cathedral". "The diocese has been reaching out to Quebec's Muslim community since the shooting in a variety of ways, Myers said, hosting this fall, for example, a gathering of Muslim and Anglican families in the cathedral, with similar events planned for the near future".

- "'What do we who are not Muslims really know about what Muslims believe ?' This was the question that inspired the Rev. Natasha Brubaker Garrison to invite Imam Syed Soharwardy to participate in an Imam-in-Residence program at St. Martin's Anglican Church in Calgary, where she serves as rector. Soharwardy, who follows the Sufi tradition of Islam, chairs the Al Madinah Calgary Islamic Assembly and is the founder of the Islamic Supreme Council of Canada". "(In 2011, there were 25,920 Muslims living in Calgary, representing 2.6 per cent of the population.)" "But the dialogue has gone both ways, and Soharwardy says that his community has also learned much through the experience. 'There are many Muslim people who have never been in their entire life inside a church. They have never had the opportunity to see what a church looks like from the inside'."

- For about three years, Rabbi Elyse Goldstein, the founding and current rabbi of City Shul, a Reform Jewish synagogue, and Canon Gary van der Meer, incumbent of St. Anne's Anglican Church and interfaith officer for the diocese of Toronto, have been doing a preaching exchange between their Toronto congregations. "In early 2013, van der Meer met Ilyas Ally, the son of Shabir Ally -- imam at the Islamic Information and Dawah Centre International, a nearby mosque, and former host of 'Let the Quran Speak', a Toronto-produced television show on Islam -- and the two discovered they shared an interest in interfaith relationships" (p. 13). "The strong links that already existed among the three places of worship ... have made it possible for them to quickly lend support to one another in the aftermath of violent attacks. After the mass shooting at the Islamic Cultural Centre of Quebec on Sunday Jan. 29, 2017 ... St. Anne's and City Shul organized a 'ring of peace' around their friend's mosque" (p. 13). "Tragically, Dawah Centre congregants had the opportunity to send a similar message to City Shul this fall [2018], after a gunman opened fire on worshippers at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, Penn., October 27 [2018], killing 11 and injuring seven" (p. 13).
