Are You an Interfaith Activist?

This was the question Dr. Frank Kaufmann challenged us with at a recent seminar in Boston. In this seminar, “Is Peace Really Possible?”, Dr. Kaufmann suggested that peace is only possible when we ourselves cross over the boundaries that divide us.

Revisiting Bethlehem to Find God’s Heart in History

Fourteen years ago the “Holiday Season” took on a new meaning for me. I visited Bethlehem just before Christmas in 2003 to participate in a Global Peace rally called, “Heart to Heart for Peace in the Middle East”.
