This book is in memory of the victims of the terrorist attack against worshippers in Mosques in our hometown, Christchurch, New Zealand on 15 March 2019.  This book is dedicated to all victims of violence of every form, and all angels of mercy, however and whenever expressed. May peace be with us all, and may we all be vehicles of peace and love. 

That attack is counter to the decades of work for intercultural dialogue all around the world and reflection on a good life for all - the very reasons we were founded to achieve. The  book was launched in Al Noor Mosque, Dean's Ave, Christchurch, New Zealand on 28 September 2019.
