Kevin O'Donnell (1) (1957–)

NCLA Review - In his introduction, Anglican priest O’Donnell states that studying other faiths encourages dialogue and cooperation without compromising one’s own beliefs. This dialogue can overcome prejudice and racism and lead to resolution of peace and justice issues.

For general readers grades 6 and up. Rating: 4—BM… (mer)
