Welcome to this podcast on Ecumenism, Interfaith & Justice. This podcast replaces a Heart Shift Webinar, in partnership with The William Temple Foundation conceived by Joshua Malkin as part of the Kindness Revolution – the Leeds Festival of Kindness Compassion & Wellbeing.
This podcast explores how ‘diversity in unity’ is central to building dynamic wholeness and resilience in the face of the global meta crises we face. Our speakers Celia Blackden and Lusa Nsenga-Ngoy will look at what faith offers and requires of us in this important task.
