Book Description
Father Ted Caldwell, Rector of St. Christopher's, an inner-city parish in Connecticut, has helped his parishioners by investigating many problems they have experienced. But when Sandra Mahoney, a woman with whom he has gone through previous clashes, asks him to search for her missing daughter, Rachel, he is reluctant to take on the project. Rachel, a massage therapist, disappeared three months earlier after a bizarre murder of one of her clients. Police have reached a dead-end in the case, and Father Ted does not feel he can shed any light on Rachel's whereabouts. However, the compassion he feels for Ms. Mahoney, who is agonizing over the disappearance of her child, slowly draws him into the situation. The police lieutenant investigating the homicide shares inside information with the priest, and with the involvement of his aunt Kate, Father Ted enters into a full-blown investigation. Father Ted finds himself involved in a series of frightening events, culminating in a tragedy that brings his efforts to an end. However, after receiving more important information, he reluctantly resumes his investigation. Circumstances spiral out of control with explosive results, revealing the truth behind Rachel's disappearance and her client's murder.

Book Description
Welcome to the deeper dimensions of interfaith dialogue--exploring that which divides us personally, spiritually and institutionally. "We believe that interfaith dialogue holds the key to a healing that calls us back to purpose and to meaning. We have risked confronting aspects of our traditions usually hidden, and the consequences have been deeply life-affirming. We risk becoming vulnerable as we share awkward and even unacceptable texts and interpretations, but it is this very vulnerability that allows our dialogue to move forward." --from the Introduction Expanding on the conversation started with their very successful first book, the Interfaith Amigos--a pastor, a rabbi and an imam--probe more deeply into the problem aspects of our religious institutions to provide a profound understanding of the nature of what divides us. They identify four common problem areas in the Abrahamic faiths: Exclusivity Staking Claim to a One and Only Truth Violence Justifying Brutality in the Name of Faith Inequality of Men and Women The Patriarchal Stranglehold on Power Homophobia A Denial of Legitimacy They explore the origins of these issues and the ways critics use these beliefs as divisive weapons. And they present ways we can use these vulnerabilities to open doors for the collaboration required to address our common issues, more profound personal relationships, and true interfaith healing.
