Storytelling that reveals our shared humanity and reflects the reality of our multireligious, multicultural society can be a doorway, welcoming others into fuller relationships and real mutual understanding. Read more in my piece with RNS, co-written with Joshua Seftel: bit.ly/rns-quell-racism

As parents, it's challenging to raise our children in a world full of difficulties that they can feel so deeply. So how do we equip them with the tools they need to navigate this complex world? It starts with recognizing that the light in our hearts is also in the hearts of others.
