DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
1. Explore the ways in which your own understanding of peace has evolved and matured in your life and that of your community. Is your own experience of peace and peacebuilding in any way linked to interreligious and/or intercultural dialogue?
2. Many Sufis believe that every religious tradition nurtures its own unique form of Sufism. Why do you think mysticism is absent from the religious lives of so many people?
