August 1999 - At a time when religious conflict gets the headlines, CoNexus Press offers instead the good news of inter-religious understanding, inter-spiritual wisdom, and emerging consensus on a global ethic.
With recent publications and its new web site, CoNexus is helping readers, libraries and the media discover the growing edge of cooperation among the world's religions and spiritual communities. Its publications include:
Faith and Interfaith in a Global Age, by Dr. Marcus Braybrooke. Introduces the interfaith movement's goals, organizations, and theologies in the past decade.
Testing the Global Ethic: Voices from the Religions on Moral Values, ed. by Dr. Marcus Braybrooke and Peggy Morgan. Responses by members of many religions and a non-religious perspective to the Declaration "Toward a Global Ethic;" useful in classes and for personal insight.
Threshold 2000: Critical Issues and Spiritual Values for a Global Age, by Dr. Gerald Barney et al. Authors from the Millennium Institute, the Parliament of the World's Religions, the Earth Council, UNESCO conferences, UNICEF, and others address critical issues and spiritual values.
The Wisdom of Humankind, by Leo Tolstoy. Gleaned by Tolstoy from the world's religions and philosophies, and synthesized in his last years, this new edition--the first in 80 years--offers the sage's wisdom and insights for living.
The Coming United Religions, by William E. Swing (Bishop of California). The story, action agendas, and draft charter of a new organization now in formation to assist the world's religions in working together for peace.
All In Good Faith: A Resource Book for Multi-faith Prayer, edited by Jean Potter and Marcus Braybrooke. Spiritual teachers from many faiths write about the place of prayer in their traditions; includes examples of multi-faith services and an anthology of prayers and sacred texts.
The Multifaith Calendar: 2000. Festivals, descriptions, beliefs in a large, full-color calendar; excellent in religious, educational and civic institutions.
The publisher's informative web site -- www.conexuspress.com -- includes extensive excerpts, contents lists, and blurbs. It also provides links to many interfaith organizations that are facilitating this historic movement. Examples are the Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions (with its forthcoming Parliament in Capetown), and the United Religions Initiative, a grassroots, international interfaith organization.
CoNexus publisher Joel Beversluis is editor of A Sourcebook for Earth's Community of Religions. He also edits "The Interfaith Digest," which provides good news about interfaith organizations and events worldwide.
