Description

On the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11, a team of Christian, Muslim, and Jewish clergy called Clergy Beyond Borders (CBB) embarked on a national tour to promote interfaith dialogue and resist religious extremism in the United States. Dr. Michael Kuchinsky, a professor of political science at Gardner-Webb University and a member of CBB’s Board of Advisors, recently joined the caravan to “give witness,” as he said, to the power and importance of interfaith tolerance in his own life. Kuchinsky, a Lutheran clergyperson, was working on Capitol Hill on Sept. 11, 2001, when four planes hijacked by a militant extremist group crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania, sparking a decade of interfaith tension and, at times, brutal violence.
