Peace, Love, and Misunderstanding

Greenbelt presents

Brian McLaren

In an evening of music & conversation

Exploring Christian identity in a multi-faith world

(and a journey from hostility to hospitality)

Author, speaker, activist, public theologian and regular Greenbelt speaker Brian McLaren takes the stage to explore the ideas at play in his new book, Why Did Jesus, Moses, the Buddha, and Mohammed Cross the Road?
Over six nights, in six different cities up and down the country, Brian will outline his vision for a Christian faith that must move beyond a history of defining itself over-against others and towards an engagement with and respect for other faiths – one that is hospitable rather than hostile.
Brian will be joined in each city by a faith leader from a faith tradition other than Christianity, as well as a special guest artist.
