Exciting Addition to Generous Love

Now there's and attention grabbing headline! 'Generous Love:the truth of the Gospel and the call to dialogue' was published by the Anglican Communion's Network for Inter Faith Concerns (NIFCON) in 2008 as 'an Anglican theology for inter faith relations'. It has been selling like hot cakes and spawned many study sessions and workshops. Now the online version has blossomed into a fantastic i-book resource.
As well as written material it incorporates some video and audio resources, and is designed to be adapted and added to so as to meet future needs.
Clare Amos, Director for Theological Studies in the Anglican Communion Office and Coordinator of NIFCON suggests this exciting developoment offers a new model for educational communication around the Communion and acknowledges the importance of context in relation to our engagement with people of other faiths: the situation in Pakistan, for example, is very different to the context in Britain, while that for Anglicans in Egypt, Nigeria, India or the United States is varied yet again.
Notice of the launch comes with a request to Anglicans around the world to share material (particularly video and audio) which illustrates their engagement with people of other faiths. Contact The Reverend Rana Khan for more information.
