Beyond Extremism
Seeking to move beyond language of “extremism”, this article discusses some of the promises and perils of Muslim-Christian dialogue in an era after September 11, 2001.

Written from a Christian per…
Invoking Deep Access
This article seeks to challenge the ways access and inclusion are thought about and practiced in church communities with the hope of encouraging a robust hospitality and deep accessibility among all in the body of Christ.

Moreover, this convers…

Defining religion as a unique and substantive dimension in human experience does not necessarily entail doing violence to historical differe…
