Beyond Tolerance: Touching the Heart of Religious America
People gathered to join Gustav Niebuhr, on the seventh anniversary of 9/11, as he unearthed stories of faith communities throughout America crossing religious boundaries by reaching out with love and forgiveness. His new work, Beyond Tolerance: Searching for Interfaith Understanding in America, chronicles his cross-country quest, where he finds not a war on terror but a crusade to discover common interests and mutual respect.
Niebuhr illuminated the extraordinary vitality that occurs when we cross theological boundaries with a sense of wonder and possibility.
