Fields of Hope: Stories of Inter-religious Dialogue and Peace-building

I decided to publish these stories after spending time reflecting, writing, re-writing and editing them during my sabbatical year (June 2008 to May 2009). Just like my first book, 'In War, the Real Enemy of War Itself,' this book is supposed to be part of our advocacy campaign. But unlike the previous one that simply took into account the images of war, this one, I pray, will bring hope. The stories contained in this book have one message: that inter-religious dialogue and peace-building are not entirely impossible. -Fr. Roberto C. Layson, OMI (From the Introduction)
