Description: With all of the problems facing the world today, people are longing for meaning. Many find answers in religion or spirituality, but as a result faith and religion are often hijacked by those seeking to enhance their own power. With this dichotomy in mind, ""Beyond Our Differences"" calls upon key religious leaders, politicians, and luminaries in their fields and it asks what it is that inspires them to affect positive change.
