Inter-Church Relations: Developments and Perspectives celebrates the long-lasting commitment, enthusiasm and sense of joy that Bishop Anthony Farquhar has brought to inter-Church relations over the twenty-five years of his episcopate. It discusses aspects of contemporary relations by presenting recent developments in international dialogue and networking among Churches. Cardinal Kasper, in his contribution to this work, points to a new spirit of cooperation and understanding among Church communities, attributing this development to the commitment and dedication of people like Bishop Farquhar. Covering various inter-Church forums and dialogues, it offers theological considerations on inter-Church relations and reflects on practical and spiritual ecumenism. I am very pleased that this publication has been put together We need to be reminded continuously that inter-Church relations are developing. New things are happening at both official and local levels. There is always room for further reflection and openness to new perspectives , Cardinal Seán Brady.
