Brian McLaren to Explore Inter Faith Engagement on UK tour

Christianity must engage with and respect other faiths. That is the view of public theologian and regular Greenbelt speaker Brian McLaren which he will share with UK audiences later this month

Mr McLaren will be joined in each city by a faith leader from a non-Christian faith tradition as well as a special guest artist.
