Yes, we live in a multi-cultural multi-faith multi-everything world. But few of us cross the visible and invisible boundaries that seem to separate us. Amir Hussain lives and works in this boundary crossing territory with integrity and clarity. Recently Amir a practicing Muslim has participated in the rigorous Ignatian spiritual exercises. Amir will reflect on the world he sees through the lens of this interfaith experience.

Prophets tell us what is up ahead, bring bold ideas, and stay connected to the Divine so they speak from the heart. In this 4 part series, Postmodern Prophets: 4 Windows on our World, some of our best post-modern prophets share what is on their hearts and minds to inspire, challenge and intrigue us. Preachers, teachers, and rebel rousers welcome!
