Dialogue the key to peace, love and understanding

Letters written to his friends on the inner journey. Fr. Johnston gives us several letters depicting his trips to Asia, Europe and America. He sheds some light on his travels but most importantly gives us many lessons on Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism and the importance of dialogue. Dialogue is the key for all nations to grow in love, peace and understanding. Dialogue among all people's, religious or non-religious."To be or not to be", that is the essence of Fr. Johnston's message. Mysticism is for everyone, all one has to do is let go and be in God's presence or another's presence and than we experience oneness.
