Religion and Our World in Crisis
Speaking of Faith has hosted a series of live public conversations in forums around the country — in Washington D.C., Los Angeles, and Saint Paul — to explore the role of religion in a crisis-ridden world. With religious differences implicated in so much of the world's violence, how is it possible to love one's own tradition and yet honor those of others? Host Krista Tippett speaks with religious leaders of many faiths to give voice to the questions and concerns about religion and interfaith relations. With this series, Speaking of Faith does its best to help you answer questions like this, and many others.
