August 9th, 2012

David Weaver-Zercher, professor of American religious history and co-author of “Amish Grace: How Forgiveness Transcended Tragedy,” comments on how these events can shape a religious community’s perception of the outside world in an Aug. 8 Christian Science Monitor article.
Read “In Oak Creek, Wis., hearts open to Sikhs after temple shooting.”
