Joel Beversluis--A Powerful Interfaith Voice in His Time Parts 1 & 2

These episodes are from 2000. They feature conversations with one of the most important people in the interfaith movement in West Michigan at that time. Joel Beversluis was an international presence. His passion for multi-religious cooperation drove his life. One of the most important things we discuss is the Millennium Summit that took place earlier that year.

Sadly, Joel died in 2003. And it just occurs to me at this moment that those who are carrying on his work here in Grand Rapids (where we have such a robust interfaith effort) know nothing about him. We've done nothing to memorialize him. I'm hoping that putting this old show out there might change that.

Joel, if you could only see what we've accomplished, I think you would be proud.
Just know that we are standing on your shoulders.
