Back to Press Releases »Beyond Tolerance: Touching the Heart of Religious America with Gustav Neibuhr
Thursday, September 11, 7:30 pm — Free and open to the public, but reservations are required; for reservations, please call (877) 537-2228
Join Gustav Niebuhr, on the seventh anniversary of 9/11, as he unearths 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 illuminates the extraordinary vitality that occurs when we cross theological boundaries with a sense of wonder and possibility.
Gustav Niebuhr, former religion reporter for the New York Times, contributor to the Washington Post’s “On Faith,” and to NPR’s “All Things Considered,” is the grandson of H. Richard Niebuhr and great nephew of Reinhold Niebuhr, two of America’s most distinguished theologians.
