MoxieTalk with Kirt Jacobs Episode #153: Terry Taylor

Terry Taylor's drive to bring peace to communities, through understanding each other's differences, powers his work. Taylor is the recently retired executive director of Interfaith Paths to Peace, also known as IPP, a Louisville-based inter-religious, non-profit organization. His collaborative projects include working with countless of the religious councils and centers throughout Louisville. He was instrumental in Louisville's designation as a Compassionate City. In 2013, Taylor played a significant role in the planning of Louisville's three-day hosting of the Dalai Lama. Taylor's global travels include attending a ceremony marking the anniversary of the atomic bombing in Hiroshima, heading to Israel on a peacemaking mission, and visiting Egypt and Syria as a guest of the National Peace Foundation and the Islamic Society of North America, to name a few. He authored "A Spirituality for Brokenness," published by Skylight Paths Publishing. Louisville's Center for Women and Families honored Taylor as its "2011 Man of Distinction," and he received a Community Service Recognition Award from APPKI, a Louisville-based Pakistani philanthropic group in 2012.
