As mentioned,  there is much out there on Buddhist-Christian dialogues.  In 
regards to practice and how contact with Buddhism, specifically Zen, 
transformed the life and Christian teachings of one Jesuit priest, please 
see Always a Pilgrim: Walking the Zen Christian Path by Thomas G. Hand, S.J. 
and Crossing Over Together: Selections from the writings and talks of Thomas 
G. Hand, edited by Judy Howe Hayes. Thomas Hand was the Director of the 
East-West Center and meditation program at the Mercy Center in Burlingame, 
CA, a retreat and training center run by the Catholic Sisters of Mercy, 
until his death one month ago at the age of 84.  They are available through 
the bookstore at  www.mercy-center.org.
