Minister at UU Church at Washington Crossing. “I have long believed that interfaith dialogue is at the heart of our
Unitarian Universalist Movement. With my impending Compassionate
Listening tour to Israel/Palestine which will start right after Easter this
spring, my life is increasingly filled with opportunities for interfaith
dialogue at ever deeper levels.” Stephens, who
was ordained as a Lutheran minister before studying other faiths and who
became a Unitarian minister in 1981, works with groups to strengthen
interfaith dialogue and coalitions. As an adjunct staff member to the
nationally known Shalem Institute for Spiritual Direction, he brings a
distinctly interfaith perspective. “Spirituality is an area that can unite
and strengthen people of differing faith traditions. People who come together
to share their heartfelt stories of spiritual deepening often find their
differences in religious language and symbolism become less divisive,” he
says. With respect to peace, Stephens works with numerous local groups,
including the Upper Bucks Peace Circle and the Princeton Peace Coalition, to
advocate peace among nations and advance tolerance within our own borders. |
