On Tuesday, March 6, 7 p.m. at the Finksburg Branch of Carroll County Public Library, “The Faith Club” a book/ topical discussion group, provides an opportunity to view and discuss BILL MOYERS JOURNAL PBS film BEYOND OUR DIFFERENCES which explores the common threads that unify the world’s religious traditions.
In BEYOND OUR DIFFERENCES,religious leaders, politicians and luminaries in their fields give voice to the positive effects of spirituality and morality, focusing on commonalities spanning all faiths. While the negative — even violent — side of religion is widely reported, director Peter Bisanz documents the hope for positive change
and healing universal to so many.
Among the thinkers and leaders interviewed for BEYOND OUR DIFFERENCES are the Dalai Lama, Andrew
Young, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, religious scholar Karen Armstrong, Chief Rabbi David of the International Jewish Committee for Interreligious Relations and dozens more. For more information, check out the BEYOND OUR DIFFERENCE website at http://www.beyondourdifferences.com/
