Here on Earth - "Off The Mic" - Rev. Jim Wallis

Joe Hardtke

The Reverend Jim Wallis joined us on the show today to talk about interfaith dialog between Islam and Evangelical Christianity. It was an insightful conversation and you can download it from the Here on Earth archive.

But he didn't stop there! In this bonus video shot after the show, Rev. Wallis talks "off the mic" about American exceptionalism and how it could be explained by President Obama's recent Nobel Peace Prize.

International Day of Peace 9/21

Carly Yuenger

On today's show , in celebration of the International Day of Peace, we speak with Former Prime Minister of Norway, Kjell Magne Bondevik, and former Wisconsin legislator and U.S. Ambassador to Norway, Tom Loftus. After serving as Prime Minister, Mr. Bondevik founded the Oslo Center for Peace and Human Rights and today, Mr. Loftus serves as the Chair of its U.S. branch.

The Oslo Center brings a special perspective to the cause of peace: the Center sees religion and inter-faith dialog as a means of attaining peace and resolving conflict.
