Darrol is a Distinguished Professor Emeritus and the Director of the Centre for Dialogue and Spirituality in the World Religions at Renison University College, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. Educated at Concordia College, Harvard Divinity School and the University of St. Michael’s College (Toronto), he has edited/authored more than 30 volumes including A World Broken by Unshared Bread, Religion in a New Key 3rd ed, Inter-Religious Dialogue: Voices from a New Frontier, Muslim Christian Dialogue, Ways of the Spirit: Celebrating Dialogue, Diversity & Spirituality, Ways of the Spirit: Voices of Women, and most recently, Out of Galilee: Christian Thought as a Great Conversation.

He has been involved in interfaith dialogue since the mid-1970s. Sabbaticals with his family in India transformed his approach to the religious pathways of Hinduism, Islam, Tibetan Buddhism, Sikh and Jain traditions, as did time in China alter his approach to Confucian, Daoist and Buddhist Ways. The dialogue of the intercultural and interreligious world remains his passion. He received the Huston Smith Interfaith Educator award in 2007.
