Last year's first Festival of Faiths in Kansas City was a great success in many ways, even though I served as moderator of the main event, a dialogue between a Muslim and a Jew.
And this year's second annual festival is shaping up to offer lots of good things to participants. I hope you will consider getting to several of the scheduled sessions and events. One difference this year is that the keynote speaker will follow all the November events. Jon Meacham of Newsweek will be in Kansas City in January.

I was privileged the other evening to moderate a "Festival of Faiths" discussion between Dr. Judea Pearl, father of slain Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, and Dr. Akbar Ahmed, an Islamic scholar at American University in Washington, D.C. (The photo here, which I took from my moderator position, shows Ahmed on the left, Pearl on the right and a photo of Danny Pearl behind us.)

A few weeks ago I moderated a dialogue between a Muslim and a Jew in front of about 1,000 of our closest friends at a local church.
Judea Pearl, father of slain Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, and Akbar Ahmed, one of the best scholars on Islam in the country, began these discussions as a way to seek harmony among people of different religions after Islamic militants murdered Danny Pearl in Pakistan.
