Kurt Johnson is an internationally renowned scientist, social activist, author, and former monastic. He is also a pioneer in the field of interspirituality, the discovery of a universal spirituality within the world’s religions. His latest project is the two-volume set Interspirituality (Light on Light Press), a compendium of writings on the heritage and future of the interspiritual movement with contributions from 120 religious and spiritual thought-leaders from all over the world. His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama captures the essence of the volumes in his opening message: “Without a community, one single individual cannot survive. So we must develop a reality where the entire world of human beings are one human community—we are brothers and sisters—one humanity!”
In this episode, we speak with Kurt about his (inter)spiritual background, the history and current state of the interspiritual movement, Catholic and Christian contributions to a “deep ecumenism,” and how we might “pilot out of a place of deeper assets” to build a better world.
