Using the metaphor of a mountain range, he identifies the major obstacles to meaningful and mutually respectful interaction between Christians and Muslims and encourages intelligent Christian engagement with western culture.It seems mountains can move, but only when grace and truth are involved in all spheres of society, as fair-minded people of all faiths and none, learn to model the necessary attitude and actions.Content Benefits: Looks at the issues of living in a multi-cultural society and asks how we can achieve social cohesion in a mutually respectful manner.Metaphor of a mountain range allows the various obstacles in our national life to be challengedExamines issues such as the legacy of colonialism, racism, political correctness and Christian/Muslim relationsUnpacks the idea that minority social groups are now at odds among themselvesShows that with mutual respect in all spheres that there is a way forward to social cohesionEncourages honest and respectful debate by learning how to 'face facts' about one another without 'fuelling fear' of one anotherWill enable us to understand why we think as we do in our country, and how that insight can help bring changeEngenders mutual respect that can lead to new and constructive dialogue that facilitates changeSuitable for anyone who wants to see a more cohesive societyHelpful for anyone in leadership, whether faith based or secularIdeal reading for students engaging in multi culturalism/ interfaith dialogueAuthor is an internationally recognised communicator with forty years' experience in cross-cultural issues
