John Cobb explains that the best way to approach persons from other religious traditions should always be in love. Love requires that we take the others seriously, and listen to what they have to say. Listening is not only hearing about who we have been from the perspective of others. It is also hearing from them what they have come to understand through their quite different histories. We can learn not only in the sense of gaining information, but in the more important sense of having our horizons extended and our consciousness raised.
