This article says that one way to witness to the Gospel
is to become more familiar with the religious traditions of people who are not Christians, so that we can see the goodness of God in those traditions
and be better prepared for dialogue with people of those traditions

Vatican II's influence can be seen in today's Catholic schools. In today's schools, as in the wider society, there is much more awareness and knowledge of other faiths ...than in years gone by

Migration and the presence of foreign students open our eyes to other cultures and faiths

For me personally, only in the last few years...since engaged in full-time prison work...have I become more aware of the Muslim faith. I now have the dates of Ramadan in my diary...and I sometimes stand or kneel in silent prayer at the back of a group of Muslim inmates as they hold their afternoon prayer in their prison common room...thinking to myself: these guys are praying to God, they are giving God honor. God bless 'em!
