As the nation gears up for an ugly debate during an ugly and hate-filled election cycle, I feel blessed to have had time on the air today with my friend and neighbor Tom Hall of Midday on WYPR and my new friend and colleague, Rev. Grey Maggiano of Memorial Episcopal Church.  Despite/because of our differences, may we all feel and express more love and find more common ground!

Listen to Midday with Tom Hall and my conversation with Tom and Rev. Grey here, and thanks to the Institute for Islamic, Christian and Jewish Studies for their support of the Living Questions series and The Shalom Hartman Institute for providing such a powerful opportunity for learning and exploration in Israel to these two urban Baltimore faith leaders!

(Thanks, also, to the Associated: Jewish Federation of Baltimore and Beth Am for their generous support of my time at Hartman!)
