Cover Story: This tiny Jewish community dreamed an impossible dream of interfaith cooperation


A courageous woman became a peacemaker

And now—an opportunity to participate in-person in Michigan in December 2024

COVER STORY: This week’s top story is very good news for anyone who cares about improving the relationships between the many religious groups that are an active part of our American communities. ReadTheSpirit Editor David Crumm reports on the life and legacy of an interfaith pioneer—Sylvia Kaufman. Right now, there are two opportunities to learn more about the peacemaking efforts of Kaufman and the ongoing team of interfaith professionals she inspired in west Michigan: There’s a new illustrated biography of Sylvia Kaufman, a refreshing story that’s a timely alternative to current headlines about religious conflict. And—also right now—there are still openings to take part in a unique day-long “trialogue” of Christian, Muslim and Jewish scholars taking place in west Michigan on December 5. (And, yes, within our Cover Story, we’ve got easy links to sign up for that event, if you can be in that part of the U.S. in early December.)

This is a “good news” story that’s worth sharing with friends, as well. We hope that after reading it, you’ll want to pass along this news to others via social media or email. Thanks, in advance, for doing so!

OUR COMMUNITY OF WRITERS was pleased on Monday, November 4, to find Dr. David Gushee’s landmark book, Changing Our Mind, flagged by Amazon as a “Best Seller.” The book zoomed up Amazon’s sales rankings over the weekend as a result of the CNN network’s in-depth, inspirational story about a family—once divided by evangelical anti-LGBTQ bias—who have been reunited through the compassion these family members discovered in Christian scholars like that of Mercer University’s Dr. David Gushee.

Cover Story: Duncan Newcomer’s long-awaited “big book” on the spiritual life of Abraham Lincoln finds a home at Santos Press

A nationwide community of readers awaits this version of ‘Quiet Fire’

OUR COVER STORY THIS WEEK tells the fascinating story of how Duncan Newcomer, a Lincoln scholar based in Maine, coined the phrase “Quiet Fire” to describe Abraham Lincoln’s passion for both justice and for the healing of deep wounds in American life. And, we learn in this story, how that message evolved from early radio broadcasts and online columns toward a “big book” coming in 2025 that will explore Lincoln’s complex spiritual life in depth.

Meanwhile, our Cover Story also includes a video interview with Duncan Newcomer that you can watch right now—plus links to an earlier Quiet Fire book by Duncan and online access to some of Duncan’s original radio broadcasts via Spotify.

There’s so much to enjoy and take to heart in this story—at a time when our nation once again is deeply divided—that we hope you will share our Cover Story with friends via social media and email this week.

Who speaks for the more than 50 million American Catholics?

We’re publishing answers to this red-hot question

IN A NEWSY FRONT EDGE PUBLISHING COLUMN, this week, MSU School of Journalism professor Joe Grimm reports on the war of words unfolding over the authority to speak to and for millions of Catholics. Pope Frances has just released a major encyclical about the problem of vicious competition around the world that threatens the compassionate hearts of faithful people. Meanwhile, across the central United States, some conservative political mud slingers are distributing fake Catholic newspapers, claiming to speak for the church. MSU’s Joe Grimm explains what’s going on—and he provides valuable links to read more about each of these unfolding news stories. If you care about the Catholic church, this is a story to read and share with friends via social media.

‘What Is Sacred about Friendship?’

The InterFaith Leadership Council of Metropolitan Detroit (IFLC) is nationally known for building bridges between the many religious groups that have called southeast Michigan home for more than a century. Among the IFLC’s remarkable accomplishments is its in-depth interfaith conversations that have continued in southeast Michigan, even when many such relationships have broken down over the past year or so. Rising waves of religious hatred around the world, plus ongoing global conflicts, have made it difficult for this kind of peaceful work to continue.

However, the IFLC has not stopped its interfaith work. Now, the IFLC is debuting this fascinating video-podcast conversation between Jewish leaders and one of the nation’s most influential Muslim academics. Please make time this week to watch this podcast—and to share it with friends as a sign of hope.

NOTE: This link takes you to the IFLC’s online presentation of this free-to-stream podcast.

Cover Story: Veteran podcaster Ken Kemp introduces the ‘Sanctuary’ story to his national audience

A Sanctuary in the Heartland—
‘This Book is a Gift’

OUR COVER STORY THIS WEEK is a podcast—an audio conversation in this case—produced by the veteran podcaster Ken Kemp, who uses the signature line: “Beached White Male.” In recent years, through his podcasts and columns, Ken has explored the ever-growing circle of communities that embrace inclusivity as a part of their expression of God’s love. Ken’s message is one of hope—that we don’t have to react to change by feeling left behind, isolated or “beached.” In fact, as Ken puts it, God’s love is broad enough to make room for all of us.

As a podcaster, Ken has a welcoming voice, a storyteller’s talents and a masterful way of unfolding interviews with his guests. That’s especially true in this recent podcast-conversation with Dr. Thomas Wassink, co-author of the new book: Sanctuary.

Intrigued? Well, we can tell you: This new book is a valuable companion for the tens of thousands of congregations nationwide that are currently in the process of trying to become more inclusive. Please, listen to Ken Kemp and Dr. Thomas Wassink talk about Sanctuary’s unique journey—and, when you’re done, please share this week’s Cover Story with friends across social media and email.

In these deeply divided times, we all can use some good news about cordial, inclusive communities.

Sukkot

THE ANNUAL JEWISH HARVEST FESTIVAL OF SUKKOT is one of the most beloved family observances as grandparents, parents and children set up temporary shelters, also called “booths” or “sukkahs,” to remember God’s long legacy of providing for families. For this Sukkot, author Rusty Rosman writes about a very unusual keepsake in her family—a piece of woven roofing made 120 years ago by a young Jewish couple who picked and fashioned the reeds from a river in southeast Michigan.

Cover Story: What good news to discover neighbors finding ‘common ground’ in discussing the Bible!

Thanks to George A. Mason’s The Word Made Fresh

THIS WEEK’S COVER STORY comes to us from the heart of Texas by journalist, educator and health-care advocate Ann Worley who writes about how a new book—George A. Mason’s The Word Made Fresh—has inspired her congregation in an ongoing way. While a very “local” story, this is an important reminder to all of us about the influence of the millions of small groups spread across America’s more than 350,000 congregations. In this year of especially deep, public divisions among Christians, the idea of warm and inspiring conversations about the Bible seems like pretty good news to many of us!

Thanks, Ann—and thanks to Ann’s friends in her congregation—for sharing this story with all of us! We now invite our readers to enjoy this Cover Story—and then to share this story with friends across social media. In that process, we all are contributing in small but important ways to the health of our communities nationwide.
