This is a book that will take a lot of processing and discussion. It would be a great idea to have this discussion with small groups including people from different religions.

The author takes a "social justice" approach to how to recognize "White Christian Privilege" and then how to change the paradigm.

For the U.S., it would be a great model to follow for the most part. We need to reach an understanding, as Christians, that we are not the "majority" religion... we are NOT "persecuted" (though we are maligned in certain sectors)... and we need to not be threatened by the plurality around us.

A serious area of disagreement I have with the author regards communion, or the Eucharist. There are sacred acts in every religion that only those IN that religion can fully experience. For Muslims, it is the journey to Mecca. Mecca is only for Muslims. I am not familiar enough with Hinduism or Buddhism to point to their particular practices, but there are places or actions that are best ONLY in that tradition.

She applauded her Episcopal church for allowing her to partake of the Eucharist as a Hindu. Being sacramental, I have a fundamental disagreement with that practice.

Dialogue needs to happen. Christians need to be visiting Hindu temples and Muslim mosques and other sites. We would do well to listen and learn.
