In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in the fall of 1980, two Franciscan Sisters teamed up with a Muslim professor of a local university to begin a journey of dialogue, friendship, and activism that had a lasting effect on their group and the community.They launched one of the first “Islamic Christian” dialogues in the country, which soon became internationally known.This book brings together their stories of encounter and collaboration alongside those of other interfaith actors.The initial Christian-Muslim dialogue inspired the next generation of leaders to continue the work of building trust and mutual understanding through educational programs and social activism.The narratives presented here are based on qualitative data and scholarly research.They are accompanied by representative examples of the efforts aimed at cultivating spaces for interfaith dialogue and interaction between and among people from different faith traditions and backgrounds.This book offers an overview and history of those interfaith efforts and relationships.
