In Part I of an interview for Ecumenical Trends, Aaron T. Hollander of the Graymoor Ecumenical & Interreligious Institute speaks with NYU President Emeritus John Sexton — architect of the Reconciliation League — about sightings of a secular ecumenism.
The conversation traces how lessons from the religious ecumenical movement can inform civic dialogue today: building concentric circles of trust, listening across difference, and cultivating what Sexton calls “disciples of dialogue.”
