Prabhu leads with pointing out that Lesher “was pioneer of the modern interfaith movement, and toward the end of his life, a tireless promoter of a possible new civilization for humankind.”
Lesher is quoted to say, “The very existence of the inter-religious movement is a massive change in the religious landscape of the world brought about by the technological advances that have created this age of globalization… [It] is an essential force for good that is helping humanity meet the challenges of the modern world.”
