World Religions

Imagine meeting a neighbor or colleague whose beliefs differ from your own – perhaps following Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, African Traditional Religions, Postmodern thought, Agnosticism, or Secular Humanism. How do you listen with empathy, reflect on your own faith, and share the hope of Christ without fear or offense?
