Welcoming Other Religion: A New Dimension of the Christian Faith
Pierre-François de Béthune
The Benedictine monk Pierre-François de Béthune has dedicated his life to following the lead of the great pioneers of interreligious dialogue at the level of spiritual experience. Having practiced zazen and "Way of tea" assiduously for decades, he now leads readers along the path of spiritual hospitality, describing how welcoming other religions transformed him and brought him to rediscover the Gospel.
In this volume, he evokes the spiritual journeys of some of the pioneers of interreligious dialogue, among them, Thomas Merton, Henri Le Saux, Raimon Panikkar, and Christian de Chergé and the monks of Tibhirine. In doing so, he proposes that their commitment to dialogue, hospitality, and welcoming the other corresponds to what the Gospel requires of the followers of Jesus.

Catholic Cultures: How Parishes Can Respond to the Changing Face of Catholicism
Patricia Wittberg, SC
From its earliest days, Christianity has been lived and proclaimed in the language and symbols of each receiving culture. Today, these cultures include the new ethnic groups moving into our parishes.
They also include new generations of Catholic young adults, whose childhood experiences of their faith are very different from those of their elders. Sister Patricia Wittberg, SC, offers a view of Catholicism through the eyes of Catholics from these different cultures, so that we may all be challenged to grow in our reception of the Good News.
This book is an ideal resource for parish ministers, educators, and parents struggling with how to evangelize and minister to unfamiliar cultures. It is also a tool for leaders trying to build a strong community made up of members who represent a variety of ethnic backgrounds and ages.

The Joyful Power of the Church: A Spirituality for the New Evangelisation
Guido Oliana, mccj
The aim of this book is to show how effective the Lectio divina experience can be for the open and welcoming heart. The new evangelisation aims at giving a vivid presentation of the Gospel message, which is “new in its ardour, methods and expression.”
This is primarily to reawaken and revitalize the faith, hope, and love of many people who have already received a first announcement of Christ, but are not living its concrete implications in all areas of human existence.
