Whereas much theology of religions regards 'the other' as a problem to be solved, this book begins with a Church called to witness to its faith in a multicultural world by practising a generous yet risky hospitality. A theology of dialogue takes its rise from the Christian experience of being-in-dialogue. Taking its rise from the biblical narrative of encounter, call and response, such a theology cannot be fully understood without reference to the matrix of faith that Christians share in complex ways with the Jewish people. The contemporary experience of the Shoah, the dominating religious event of the 20th Century, has complexified that relationship and left an indelible mark on the religious sensibility of both Jews and Christians. Engaging with a range of thinkers, from Heschel, Levinas and Edith Stein who were all deeply affected by the Shoah, to Metz, Panikkar and Rowan Williams, who are always pressing the limits of what can and cannot be said with integrity about the self-revealing Word of God, this book shows how Judaism is a necessary, if not sufficient, source of Christian self-understanding. What is commended by this foundational engagement is a hope-filled 'waiting on grace' made possible by virtues of empathy and patience. A theology of dialogue focuses not on metaphysical abstractions but on biblical forms of thought about God's presence to human beings which Christians share with Jews and, under the continuing guidance of the Spirit of Christ, learn to adapt to a whole range of contested cultural and political contexts.

A large body of research supports the notion that, in times of crisis, individuals lean heavily on their social support systems for motivation and peace of mind. Other evidence reveals that people vary in the degree of support they receive following the specific crisis of a cancer diagnosis. These levels of social support have notable effects on patients' well-being. However, little research has examined the relationship between social support and patients' well-being during the waiting period before receiving their diagnosis. The aim of this study was to identify relationships between social support processes and well-being in women awaiting breast cancer diagnosis --specifically, the results of a breast biopsy. We recruited and interviewed 137 female participants (Mage = 44.7; 77.4% Latina) at their biopsy appointment. The interview included a brief measure of perceived social support and several measures of well-being. As expected, participants with more social support had higher well-being by a number of measures: greater tolerance for uncertainty, less rumination, less sadness, more happiness, and fewer mental health symptoms. This relationship also emerged with regard to sadness and happiness during the preceding week and in predictions for how they would feel while awaiting their biopsy results. A notable exception was feelings of anxiety (current, past week, and upcoming week), which were unrelated to social support --suggesting that anxiety may be particularly immovable during this type of acute experience of health-related uncertainty. Further analyses will examine these relationships in daily surveys during the wait for biopsy results.

As an autobiography, "Waiting for Chester" relates the youthful adventures of the youngest member of an immigrant family. Arriving in Canada, from Europe in the early fifties and settling in an impoverished region of Hamilton Ontario, the author's Family set forth to evolve a suitably comfortable lifestyle. The fateful coincidence of events that transpired through family, friends and fascinating acquaintances sends an innocently ignorant seven year old through an overwhelming journey toward maturity. This sometimes amusing cultivation toward adolescence proved ever more stimulating by his exposure to those magical high school years during the emergence of the Rock and Roll era. "Waiting for Chester" will remind us all of the chasteness of our youth and the morally wholesome side of our life....
