NSW: Power of the Here and Now (interfaith dialogue)

Inner transformation
With courage and transformation, both distinguished speakers explain how, they were able to overcome the binds that once tied them and how they uncovered their authentic “selves.”

Insights through service
How they worked through their domains of service, to become aware, offer compassion, understand human nature and how they faced their religious service with honesty.

The Church and the University

Social action
An interfaith discussion highlighting how two different religions view social action.
