Adventist Peace Radio, Episode 9: Andrews Social Consciousness Summit
Welcome to Adventist Peace Radio, the podcast of the Adventist Peace Fellowship. You can subscribe to the podcast at iTunes or Stitcher.
In this episode, we hear about a 3-day event at Andrews University, the Sixth Annual Social Consciousness Summit. The theme this year was "Border Wars," and the topics covered were refugees, immigrants, and Adventist-Muslim relations. The Summit was a collaborative effort with various student groups working together to plan, promote, and put on the event.

In these interviews, we hear from some of the leaders who made the Summit possible. First, Jeff Boyd interviews Lhorraine Polite, the event coordinator. Next he interviews three students involved with Adventist-Muslim relations—Rebecca Murdock, Steven Sigamani, and Mohammad Talafha. The final interview is with Garrison Hayes, who leads a ministry of dialogue called The Agora. Then to wrap up the episode, Jeff Boyd shares about the films shown on Friday afternoon in the middle of the Summit.
