In the 5 years since its official release, A Common Word (ACW) has become arguably
the most influential interfaith dialogue between Muslims and Christians in history.
It has provided a common ground on which thousands of Muslim and Christian
religious leaders have been brought together.
Here is the original Muslim position statement
and the Yale-based Christian Response
Hopefully there will be more developments over the next few years, and an avoidance of the media-hyped-up nonsensical government-orchestrated "clash of civilisations".

Stoic asceticism and St Isaac
Tuesday, October 30, 2012
I've been finding many ways in which St Isaac's asceticism imbibed elements of Stoicism. Also found some useful free online philosophy texts,eg Essays in Ancient Philosophy by Michael Frede, which has some useful material on Stoicism.
