Pluralism: it's not tolerance, it's not relativism, it's not multiculturalism... but it's all around us! In this Veritas Forum from Harvard, we explore the myths and challenges behind our new religious reality. Sri Lankan social critic and lay theologian Vinoth Ramachandra brings an Evangelical Christian perspective into conversation with the United Methodist perspective of Harvard's own Diana Eck, an internationally recognized expert on pluralism and the Director of Harvard's Pluralism Project. The following discussion is moderated by Rodney Petersen, Director of the Boston Theological Institute.
