Thomas Ryan

    Thomas Ryan s'inspire d'une multitude d'expériences de vie, du service militaire dans des zones de guerre et du commerce en Europe de l'Est au trekking à travers les jungles asiatiques et la navigation dans les profondeurs de l'amour et de la perte, pour créer des récits captivants. Il a perfectionné ses talents littéraires pour devenir un écrivain accompli de romans à suspense et de nouvelles, privilégiant avant tout son rôle de conteur. Ryan plonge avec enthousiasme sa psyché dans le royaume de la créativité et de la fantaisie, tissant des personnages hauts en couleur dans la trame d'intrigues captivantes. Sa plus grande motivation en tant qu'écrivain est d'emmener les lecteurs dans un voyage palpitant.

      "Interreligious Prayer is a compass to help Christians find their way responsibly in the increasingly frequent interreligious encounters occasioned by national holidays, school assemblies, and religious festivals, as well as in communal responses to events such as war and peace, tragedies or natural disasters. The book addresses head-on the questions that inevitably arise in these encounters, such as "What is the basis for coming together to pray?" and "Are there any boundaries?"" "Fr. Thomas Ryan provides four different forms of interreligious prayer: "just being there," multireligious prayer, integrative religious prayer, and leadership of prayer at a multifaith gathering; examples of each form are given. The text details practical considerations relating to planning, and an appendix presents a compilation of prayer resources from Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Baha'i, and Native Americans that might be used in varying kinds of interreligious services."--BOOK JACKET.
