Why can’t we all just get along? Why is difference such a threat to us? What is at the heart of the conflict and violence and intolerance we find all around us and also within ourselves? In a completely globalized, multi-cultural, multi-faith world, we are surrounded by difference and diversity as never before. Our special guests Carolyn Francis, Dave Andrews & Bishop Spong help us explore what it means to inhabit such a world and to navigate an inclusive pathway forward.
