Christians must learn to live in a world of religious plurality. Christians desiring contact with neighbors who belong to a different religion need information regarding their food preferences, holidays, religious customs and symbols, and -- above all -- beliefs about the central reason for human existence. Many of these non-Christian folk appear to be happy with their religions and are not searching for a better way. They hold on to their beliefs and seem to find as much satisfaction in them as Christians do in theirs. Thus, for Christians, the encounter with non-Christian believers more than ever appears to be a meeting between "neighboring faiths." - Introduction.
