Learning to Live Well Together: Case Studies in Interfaith Diversity de Revd. Tom Wilson

Learning to Live Well Together: Case Studies in Interfaith Diversity

Autor Revd. Tom Wilson, Riaz Ravat
en Limba Engleză Paperback – iun 2017

Recomandăm această lucrare ca referință profesională și resursă de studiu la nivel de licență pentru studenții de la sociologie, teologie sau politici publice. Volumul propune o abordare aplicată a diversității religioase, extrasă direct din experiența Centrului St Philip din Leicester, o instituție care oferă instruire pentru organisme guvernamentale și forțe de ordine. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care autorii, Revd. Tom Wilson și Riaz Ravat, evită teoretizarea excesivă în favoarea unor soluții concrete pentru coexistența pașnică.

Din punct de vedere structural, Learning to Live Well Together este organizată pentru a ghida cititorul printr-un proces de transformare socială: primele capitole stabilesc contextul local, urmate de pilonii centrali ai metodologiei: întâlnirea, înțelegerea, încrederea și, în final, cooperarea. Această progresie logică transformă textul dintr-o simplă analiză într-un manual de bune practici. Putem afirma că relevanța cărții este sporită de includerea celor 10 fotografii care documentează interacțiunile reale, oferind o dimensiune vizuală studiilor de caz ce implică poliția sau autoritățile locale.

Ca alternativă la Living with Religious Diversity de Sonia Sikka pentru cursurile de relații interreligioase, lucrarea de față are avantajul unei perspective profund practice, axată pe rezolvarea conflictelor la nivel local, spre deosebire de abordarea mai filosofică sau axată pe stat a altor titluri. De asemenea, în timp ce Interfaith Education for All se concentrează pe mediul academic, volumul de față extinde analiza către toate aspectele vieții civile, de la evenimente culturale la interacțiunea cetățeanului cu instituțiile statului.

Descriere

In modern multi-faith societies, religious diversity not only affects religious organisations and communities, but indeed every aspect of life. From celebrating cultural events, to considering how the police should interact with members of the public from different faith communities, this book highlights the ways in which all members of society can engage constructively with diversity.

This ground-breaking book draws on the work at the St Philip's Centre in Leicester and presents a collection of case studies to show how people from a variety of religious backgrounds and ethical convictions have learnt to coexist peacefully. Without shying away from the conflicts and challenges that have occurred, the book focuses on the lessons learnt and offers real examples of how to promote positive interfaith relationships.

This is an excellent resource for anyone wishing to understand the issues of religion and belief that may arise at local and national levels, and develop appropriate attitudes and actions for peaceful resolution.

Recenzii

Modern Britain is diverse and this is an exemplar of imaginative interfaith work from Leicester. Now with much experience of changing contexts, the authors maturely celebrate what is possible whilst addressing the hard challenges. Here we see some next steps to try out as we attempt living well together.
Even before moving to Leicester, I had heard much talk of the 'Leicester model' of social cohesion. As this book makes clear, there is much that is unique about Leicester, but also much that this wonderful city can teach us about one of the defining questions of our time: how we can learn to live well together.
I urge all to read this book and learn from Tom Wilson's and Riaz Ravat's exciting work in Leicester. This excellent book will develop your understanding of living and integrating in a multicultural society that the UK so clearly is today.
Undoubtedly a well-researched, highly readable book. It highlights the importance of living well and working together for the shared common good through mutual understanding of the traditions, teachings and practices of diverse communities. The book presents the St Philip's Centre's positive approach to community cohesion and inter-faith issues.
Learning to Live Well Together gives real world examples of how individuals and communities can build safer, stronger and happier lives by engaging in dialogue, interaction and in the development of social connections that ensure more resilient communities. Today, the global challenges have grown and ensuring that people and communities can weather some of the winds that buffet us, is key. This book highlights these practical and real world examples and therefore can also inspire many to be the 'forces for good' that this country continuously needs.
An Unexpected Treasure... Perhaps no community in the world has generated the kind of transforming interfaith dialogue with measurable results that Leicester is experiencing. During and after the Brexit vote, hate crimes doubled in Leicester; but they multiplied five-fold in the rest of the country. This well-documented and indexed 178-page narrative sheds light on how and why Leicester did so much better. The book is a clear candidate for best interfaith book of 2017...
This is a pioneering book that sets our assumptions topsy-turvy, makes us rethink the whole process of dialogue with 'the other,' and offers directions for a peaceful world in spite of all the conflict we face today. It is an invaluable resource for interfaith activists. With this kind of approach, the possibilities of an authentic, effective interfaith movement become brighter. Co-authors Tom Wilson, director of St. Philip's Centre, and Riaz Ravat, deputy director, have done their homework and leave us with tools to empower any interfaith activist.

Learning to live well together is vitally important in over-coming prejudice, in healing society's divisions and reducing the dangers of extremism... The [St Philip's] Centre is, as I know from some personal knowledge of its activities, doing excellent work. Leaders of local interfaith groups, many of which are doing similar important work, will be helped by reading it [Learning to Live Well Together].
