Retired Irish diplomat Philip McDonagh is the coauthor of On the Significance of Religion for Global Diplomacy.
A quote from the book:
"The taking of power to ourselves, in one form or another, is the root of the suffering of hundreds of millions of people.
"Diplomats must take human and cultural values seriously in foreign policy planning and peacebuilding.
"Only ‘the culture of encounter’ - one of Pope Francis’ favourite phrases - founded on the humility to listen can restore the resonance of great fundamental words: mercy, discernment, justice, trust and hope."
