Professor Edwina Pio, (Professor of Diversity at AUT, trustee of the national Religious Diversity Centre), Rob Kilpatrick (until recently co-chair of Joint Learning Initiatives – Faith & Local communities, an international organisation) and Tim Pratt, (recently head of NZ hospital chaplains and now head chaplain at Auckland University) have just edited a book which brings together 20 authors from different continents and ethnicities, different cultures and practices, and different religious traditions that focused on the common theme of the golden rule that can be found in every religion. That theme is the shimmering thread that weaves its way through the book and glistens as the signpost of hope in all the writers' thinking. It seeks commonalities over differences – unity and harmony in diversity.
