A Global Guide to Interfaith Parts 1 & 2
from Common Threads: An Interfaith Dialogue · host Dena Merriam, Rachel Van Dyke
These are 2 episodes from 2008, where I speak with contributors to the book A Global Guide to Interfaith, which came out the previous year. I've mentioned before that for a program with the word "Interfaith" in its title, we don't really examine actual interfaith movements all that often. We did near the beginning, back in the 1990s. But feedback has been almost unanimously favorable on our decision to widen the parameters. Episode #1 here has us talking to Dena Merriam, a well known interfaith activist who is now on the board of directors of Hindu American Foundation. Episode #2 is with Allison VanDyke, with the Temple of Understanding in NYC. Each of these remarkable women wrote essays for the book. Listen & Learn. Theme music "Nigal."
