Interfaith-ish

Jack hosts a conversation with Ahmane' Glover, co-director of The Sanctuaries, a DC-based multicultural community committed to art, spirituality and social justice; and Chase Kimball, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who is co-director of the Day to Serve initiative. We discuss the healing power of the arts, what it means to be accountable when serving communities, and how these two local groups have been building sustained interfaith collaborations.
