Faith is one of several central poles of identity for many here in Birmingham and across the nation. The intersections and divisions around it can shape our society for better or worse. How do we take the best in our faith practice in service of justice, reconciliation, and an inclusive economy to create what Dr. King called The Beloved Community? Join us as the Very Rev. Dr. Kelly Brown Douglas and Rabbi Jonah Dov Pesner discuss their perspectives, rooted in their faith, on bridging difference.
