- ["From 7-9 June 2005, in Geneva, the World Council of Churches held "the 'Critical Moment in Interreligious Relations and Dialogue' conference, facilitating reflection on future orientation in interreligious dialogue. The aim of this book is to share the highlights of the Critical Moment conference and to give food for thought and action to all involved in interfaith dialogue and cooperation. It presents the plenary speeches and a compilation of the working group reports, as well as a summary of the answers from participants to a survey made before the conference. To make the material more alive and useful for those not at the conference, the book includes a study guide, meant for practical use in the local community. It links to issues raised at the conference, and gives background information, thoughts for reflection and questions to work on." -- back cover.
