"As Pope Francis stresses the importance of dialogue, accompaniment, and engagement, Hater articulates practical questions inviting us to discern proactive, prophetic initiatives for implementing these ideas. This is the pathway forward for nurturing a new way of being Church.... We are reminded throughout the book that 'we live in a new world, and the future Church demands new modes of presence and interpersonal communication.'"
--from the foreword
"Today, the unstoppable advance of Artificial Intelligence in all aspects of life makes this book reflecting on the core of our faith all the more important."
