“In America’s rapidly changing culture, it’s not enough to tolerate diversity; we need to actively seek to learn and respect the way other people live, what they believe, and how they worship.” Over the course of this 26-part series, which aired on public television, Dennis Wholey visits churches, synagogues, mosques, temples, and other houses of worship to respectfully inquire into some of the many faiths that enrich the spiritual life of the United States. Each program features an interview with a knowledgeable representative about beliefs and practices, history, and related sociocultural issues, and most include a brief visit inside the sacred space. Wholey rounds out the series with a thought-provoking interfaith roundtable discussion. An indispensable addition to any college, university, or public library religious video collection. 26-part series, 27 minutes each.
