Resources – Books
From time to time we will be placing book notes and short reviews of selected books which may be of use to our readers and members; the focus may be on Religions, Religious Leaders and seeking understanding of the principles of cooperation and harmony among the religions. Or the focus may be on multicultural-multifaith, and interfaith writings.
