First Conference Podcasts Available

The first podcasts from CBB’s December 2009 conference are now on-line. Additional audio is coming. Please check out this great resource and share with others interested in interfaith dialogue and human rights.

Perhaps those interested in furthering dialogue regarding the Cordoba House proposal for New York City would find the following useful:

“The Concept of Human Rights within Judaism, Christianity and Islam”
—Moderator: Rabbi Ellen Lippman, Rabbi, Kolot Chayeinu/Voices of Our Lives and member RHR-NA board of directors;
—Dr. Glen Stassen, Lewis B. Smedes Professor of Christian Ethics, Fuller Theological Seminary; author of Just Peacemaking
—Imam Yahya Hendi, Muslim Chaplain, Georgetown University; founder/president, Clergy Beyond Borders
—Rabbi Simkha Weintraub, Jewish Board of Family and Children’s Services
—question/discussion period, part 1

Imam Hendi speaks of Islam’s belief in pluralism and support of interfaith understanding. Rabbi Weintraub offers, among other useful comments, a story about interfaith work around NYC’s Ground Zero. Dr. Stassen’s reviews the relationship between Christianity and “American identity.”

The audio is presented in two parts. Be sure to check out the continuing discussion.

Thanks to CBB’s student audio/internet consultant, Daniel Brookman, who prepared the material for the web, and to Liza Figueroa Kravinksy, of Art Palette Productions, who recorded the December 2009 conference.
