Interfaith Inspiration: The Impact of Interfaith Exposure Upon Beloved Faith Leaders
Session Description:
Many highly regarded and well-loved faith leaders have been formed in part by faith leaders in other faith traditions. This session explores connections between figures such as Martin Luther King, Jr, Gandhi, Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, and Thich Nhat Hanh among others. This interfaith interaction often led to creative steps toward social justice. Participants have an opportunity to consider and share their own experience of interfaith influence and inspiration.
