| The centerpiece of our work is the video interviews with more than 50 Veterans of Hope -- religious leaders, activists, artists, educators and others who are veterans of struggles for freedom and justice in this country and in other parts of the world. In the interviews, these individuals reflect on the role of religion/spirituality in their life and work, representing a unique educational resource on religion and democratic transformation. |
