This issue of Bridges welcomes Pope Francis and his positive approach to interreligious dialogue (p. 4).

We feature various responses to violence done in the name of Islam (p. 5), including two Media Statements by Muslim leaders in Australia (p. 6), and Ron Rolheiser’s reflection on secularity provides a framework for multi-religious societies (p. 7).

There is our usual News from the Centre (p. 2), News from the World (p. 3) and Coming Events (p. 8).
