“Lessons From Babel: An Appeal to Christians, Jews, and Muslims”

This presentation is slightly over one-half hour in length. It consists of a talk given at Fordham University during an interfaith symposium sponsored by the Sufi Circle of Long Island. The central themes of the talk revolve around the story of Babel given in the book of Genesis and seeks to draw out implications of that story for people today, irrespective of whether those individuals are Christians, Jews, Muslims, or from some other faith or humanistic tradition. Although the focus of the talk centers on Christians, Jews, and Muslims, the principles being enunciated in the talk are applicable to people from a diverse array of belief systems.
