Abrahamic Family Reunion

It is with great excitement and anticipation that the Muslim Public Affairs Council and Progressive Jewish Alliance announce their joint program, NewGround: A Muslim-Jewish Partnership for Change will be featured on Speaking of Faith, a program of National Public Radio.

Speaking of Faith is a fantastically thoughtful show that addresses issues of religion, spirituality, and politics.The show features the voices of Aziza Hasan and Malka Fenyvesi (pictured below) as well as several fellows and alumni who participated in the NewGround Story Corp project earlier this year.

Please listen this week (10/15/-10/21) and pass it along. It will be available online-streaming or downloadable on Thursday October 15 here. To find a local station that broadcasts Speaking of Faith click here.

Below is a brief description of what appeared on the Speaking of Faith blog:

Curiosity Over Assumptions – Inter-Religiosity Meets a New Generation This week, Speaking of Faith shines a light on the friendship and shared passion of two twenty-something activists, Jewish and Muslim, who are part of a new generation of inter-religious encounter. Together these young women are implementing templates of practical relationship that value curiosity over assumptions and understand conflict as part of any relationship. Krista Tippett explores what they are learning from their work in the microcosm of Los Angeles – and the larger universe of risky innovation of which they are part.
