Signs of Peace: The Interfaith Letters of Thomas Merton
William D. Apel, Thomas Merton
During the last decade of his life, Thomas Merton
corresponded with numerous people around the globe about world religions
and the need for interfaith understanding. Initiating contact with
figures like Zen scholar D.T. Suzuki, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Rabbi Abraham
Heschel, he sought not only to expand his understanding of other
faiths, but to find like-minded friends who might share his dream of a
global community of the spirit. Such people, whom he called living
"sacraments" or signs of peace, were those "able to unite in themselves
and experience in their own lives all that is best and most true in the
numerous spiritual traditions."
