“The person who knows only one religion, knows none”

Facing diversity, one step at a time

January 7, 2021

If you've met me, it doesn't take long to figure out that I'm passionate about running. Whehter it's marathons, mountains, or just a morning jog -- I'm game..

And, by now, most everyone who visits this blog can figure out I am passionate about religion and helping others navigate religious diversity.

That's why I'm super excited to share Fauja Singh Keeps Going: The True Story of the Oldest Person to Ever Run a Marathon with you.

Not only does it tell a story about perseverance in the face of adversity, but it also opens up conversations about religious diversity, discrimination, and what we can do to better interact with our neighbors of different faiths and walks of life.

For this project, I partnered with Lutherans for Racial Justice -- a grassroots coalition of Lutherans that seeks to bring about both racial reconciliation and reform within the congregations and communities of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.

The video above features a reading of Fauja Singh Keeps Going. I encourage you to watch, give it a listen, and share it with your family and friends. Then, to go that much deeper into the discussion about humanity and humility, you can watch an interview with the author -- and my dear friend -- Dr. Simran Jeet Singh.


In the comments below, let me know what kind of discussions you have, what questions are raised, and how we can work together to continue the conversation.
