Among those represented were Pope Francis, the Dalai Lama, Ali Gomaa, Jonathan Sacks and Justin Welby.^[11] Encounters was a collaboration with Coexist House, the University of Cambridge and King's College London.^[12] An accompanying book edited by Aaron Rosen, Encounters: The Art of Interfaith Dialogue, was published by Brepols.^[13][14]
