We will explore how people of different religious traditions have experienced spiritual growth through their relationships with people from other faiths, and how multifaith dialogue and engagement is an essential part of life in the 21st century. Whether it be in academics, politics, literature or sports, grappling with religion, spirituality and multifaith experiences will continue ...
A different viewpoint each week from members of the Elmbridge Multi-faith Forum. Broadcast on Brooklands Radio each Sunday at 9.30am.
Rev. Dr. Ahriana Platten and a rotating interfaith team address questions about faith, family, and life in the 21st century. They use interfaith dialogue to build recognition, acceptance and interaction among a diverse cross-section of faith traditions.
The Neighborly Faith Podcast, hosted by Kevin Singer, Amar Peterman, and Chris Stackaruk, features evangelical Christian leaders who are actively engaging people of other faiths as well as thought leaders from other religious traditions. Our hope is that listeners will be inspired by our guests to have neighborly faith in the contexts they find themselves in.
Things Unseen grapples with a spiritual climate that no longer conforms to orderly patterns – with fewer of us attracted to formal religion, but many still believing that there’s more out there than meets the eye. Thought-provoking speech radio for people of faith – and those who just feel intrigued by the spiritual dimension to life.
