In this volume, readers will find an array of chapters written by

scholars, chaplains, university administrators, and clergy. The chapters

seek to shed light on projects, programs, research, and experiences

that are shaping lives and perspectives.

The opening chapter includes the voice of one who has greatly

influenced interfaith efforts around the globe. S. Wesley Ariarajah, the

former deputy general secretary of the World Council of Churches and

broadly published scholar, opens this volume with a rich reflection on

Methodists' efforts to contribute to the global interfaith movement.

His chapter reaches back to the origins of the interfaith movement

and traces the history forward into the modern era. He lays a useful

and intriguing foundation for understanding other contributions to

this volume.
