For many, the idea of interfaith engagement is one to be treated with scepticism. Whilst there is fierce discussion around interfaith issues at a scholarly level, this fails to make an impact on the practice of the church. And yet, an increasing number of those training for church leadership will find themselves in churches which are at the heart of diverse, and often divided, communities.

In Hospitality, Service, Proclamation, Tom Wilson seeks to demystify the interfaith project. Written for ordinands and those preparing to minister in neighbourhoods where interfaith and intercultural dialogue are essential, Wilson argues that rather than a threat to churches, interfaith dialogue is an important tool for discipleship.

Rev Dr Tom Wilson is Director of the St Philips Foundation, a Christian foundation interfaith centre that engages regionally and nationally in training and resourcing churches, schools, higher education institutions, public and private sector employers in issues related to faith and belief. He is the author of Learning to Live Well Together
