God and Religious Toleration/Introduction

Many people share the dream of a peaceful world. However, we live in a world filled with a diversity in beliefs, opinion, desires, and needs. In history, we often find that war and hate is rooted in religious disputes. Although either group is equally convinced of being on the right side of history, the resulting conflict perpetuates suffering indefinitely. Is this inevitable? Or is this something we can change? Tolerance between religions and all people is requirement to create a world of peace, love, and happiness, and even theists and atheists should find a way of understanding one another. To create a global dialog of faiths is the goal of the Parliament of the World's Religions. This book will cover some of this dialog, in hopes to connect people and bring opposing views into a better light.
