A Heart Broken Open is the moving and insightful reflection by a Christian minister on his grassroots engagement with Islam – from inner-city parish ministry in Leeds to the streets of Karbala at a time of rising Islamophobia and the ‘War on Terror’.
The book also includes responses from some of the author’s partners in dialogue.
At the time of writing this book, Ray Gaston had been in parish ministry in inner-city Leeds for 12 years and was Interfaith Studies Tutor and Enabler with the Queen’s Foundation for Ecumenical Theological Education and the Birmingham District of the Methodist Church.
