In this episode of Crossing Faiths, John Pinna speaks with Eric Roux from the United Religions Initiative (URI) about his personal and professional journey in interfaith collaboration and religious freedom advocacy. Roux recounts how his work began by defending his own faith, Scientology, against discrimination in France, but evolved as he recognized the greater power and necessity of working alongside other religious communities to support each other. They discuss the complex landscape of religious freedom in Europe and explore the unique, grassroots structure of URI, which fosters "Cooperation Circles" worldwide to build relationships and tackle local issues—from environmentalism to violence prevention—through collaborative action. Key themes include the effectiveness of diverse communities defending one another, the importance of moving beyond dialogue to tangible cooperation, and the belief that building genuine relationships is the most effective way to create a more peaceful world focused on shared goals and human dignity. Eric Roux has devoted himself to the service of his faith and to the universal cause of freedom of religion for more than three decades. He became a member of the clergy of the Church of Scientology in 1993 and was ordained as a minister of religion shortly thereafter. From the earliest days of his ministry, he demonstrated a strong commitment to both spiritual outreach and humanitarian initiatives. Recognizing that meaningful progress requires cooperation across faith traditions, Eric Roux co-founded the FoRB Roundtable Brussels EU. This innovative platform regularly brings together over one hundred governmental and non-governmental organizations to exchange insights, forge alliances, and develop joint strategies for the protection and promotion of religious rights. Through regular meetings, the Roundtable has become a crucible for collaborative policymaking, leading to tangible improvements in legal safeguards for persecuted minorities. His work has earned him international acclaim as a champion of freedom of religion and belief. In recognition of his skills in consensus-building and his unwavering dedication to human dignity, Eric Roux was recently elected Chair of the Global Council of the United Religions Initiative (URI), the world's largest grassroots network dedicated to interreligious cooperation. As Chair, he now guides URI's strategic vision, supporting a myriad of local multifaith groups and grassroots projects.

How can we bring wisdom to those with power and power to those with wisdom?  If we were to step into elder hood and bring the best of ourselves to the table, could we create governance structures that would help to heal our cultural divides, create equity and guide is wisely through the coming crisis? Jenny Grettve believes we can and has set up a global council to make this happen.  Jenny is a good friend of the podcast. She joined us in episode #228 to talk about designing and building a school along Doughnut economic lines and then again in episode #249 to talk about the evolution of a Mothering Economy based on the values of compassion and care for future generations.  Jenny is an author, philosopher, systems thinker and designer, author of several books, most recently the Mothering Economy that we talked about the last time we met. Then, she was leading WhenWhen, a new feminist design agency that creates system demonstrators to test ideas generated by global researchers working with the climate crisis and sustainable life.  She was still working there last November when Donald Trump managed to take the US Presidency again. Amidst all the shock and horror of that moment, I saw a post Jenny put up on LinkedIn, proposing the creation of a Global Council of Women as a way to bring forward the values that our world needs at this moment of total transformation.  I signed up on the spot and then asked Jenny to come and talk to us about it, so that the idea might spread in the Accidental Gods spheres.  And then as I was doing the reading for this episode, I found that Jenny had started the year in a new post - that she is now Head of Transformation at a European Council funded organisation called EIT - that's European Innovation and Technology - Culture and Creativity.  Which means Jenny is now taking the wisdom of creativity right into the heart of the bureaucracy that sustains the super organism, at least in the EU.  So here we are, considering the nature of wisdom and elder hood, how we might overcome the gender divides that so assail us in service to life - and how to bring creative ideas deep into the heart of machine.  Please know that the Council is not only for women - the first meeting is exploring whole, healthy masculinity and how it can be prioritised in this world. Which feels like such an integral part of our thinking now.  So please do join - the link is below.  Women Council https://www.womencouncil.world/Jenny Grettve https://www.jennygrettve.com/EIT Culture and Creativity https://eit-culture-creativity.eu/Jenny on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennygrettve/EIT Culture and Creativity on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/eit-culture-creativity/Jenny in Episode 228 https://accidentalgods.life/evolving-education-building-a-doughnut-school-with-jenny-grettve-of-whenwhen/Jenny in Episode 249 https://accidentalgods.life/finding-the-courage-to-care-ways-to-build-a-mothering-economy-with-author-jenny-grettve/

There is no life, no liberty and no property without a stable climate and their government, our government should not be allowed to continue to contribute to this problem.” Elizabeth Rusch, author of The 21. This book dives into the ongoing landmark federal climate change lawsuit Juliana versus the United States of America.

Am I Too Old to Save the Planet? A Boomer's Guide to Climate Action by Lawrence MacDonald “We've reached a point where an individual action is going to be too little too late. And so we really need collective action to have rapid policy change. And that's one of the reasons that I am actually a big admirer of Citizens Climate Lobby. The idea of carbon fee and dividend I think is a very powerful driver for action. I think that can be very powerful. And it's going to need a bipartisan consensus.” -Lawrence MacDonald, author, Am I Too Old to Save the Planet?” This book delves into how the generation with the potential to enact change allowed climate issues to escalate into a global crisis - and offers solutions.Lawrence MacDonald, a former international correspondent and former vice president of the World Resources Institute, shares his personal transformation into a dedicated climate advocate.

It has been an important tradition since 1989. Thousands of volunteers gather on the first Saturday of June for a three-hour cleanup of the Chesapeake Bay watershed. This year, over 4,000 volunteers removed 114 pounds of debris, including surprising finds like a plastic hippo and a packaged pork tenderloin. The cleanup significantly benefits the ecosystem and engages the community. While it's specific to Virginia, those in the Chesapeake Bay watershed can participate in their own cleanups.

Music stimulates many areas of the brain, including those responsible for memory, movement, mood, and gets different parts of the brain working together simultaneously, according to a new report from the Global Council on Brain Health. Researchers found that music can improve sleep, sharpen memory, reduce stress, and stimulate thinking skills — all of which are good for maintaining brain health as we age. Kevin Shorner-Johnson, Dean of the School of Arts and Humanities at Elizabethtown College, joins us to tell us about their new musical peacebuilding program and the benefits of music.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you don't use it, you lose it. At least, that's how the old aphorism goes. It refers to the idea that something which does not get utilised regularly quickly falls into a state of decline. For example, a hobby that you haven't done for a few years, like playing the trumpet. You might find yourself a bit rusty the next time you pick one up – or maybe you've forgotten altogether! Muscles are another example. They will waste away without use. In order to counteract this, people take regular exercise to keep their skills sharp.如果你不使用它，你就会失去它。至少，这就是古老的格言。它指的是没有定期使用的东西很快就会陷入衰退状态的想法。比如一个你几年没做过的爱好，比如吹小号。下次你拿起一个时，你可能会发现自己有点生锈了——或者你可能完全忘记了！肌肉是另一个例子。他们将毫无用处地浪费掉。为了抵消这一点，人们经常锻炼以保持他们的技能敏锐。Well, what about the brain? As we age, our brains can naturally begin to decline. In some cases this can lead to certain mental conditions such as dementia, which I'm sure you will agree, no one wants. However, all is not lost because these days it's relatively easy to train your brain. Smartphones and apps have put programmes into our hands that can test, maintain and even augment our memories, mathematical skills, logic skills and a raft of other mental abilities. With a little practice every day, we can keep our brains nice and sharp, right?那么，大脑呢？随着年龄的增长，我们的大脑自然会开始衰退。在某些情况下，这可能会导致某些精神状况，例如痴呆症，我相信您会同意，没有人愿意。然而，一切都没有丢失，因为现在训练你的大脑相对容易。智能手机和应用程序已将程序置于我们手中，这些程序可以测试、维持甚至增强我们的记忆力、数学技能、逻辑技能和大量其他心智能力。每天稍加练习，我们就可以让我们的大脑保持良好和敏锐，对吗？Well, no, actually. According to a report from the Global Council on Brain Health, even though many people thought it was important to play online games, such as puzzles and mind games, which are designed to improve brain health, the evidence of the benefits was “weak to non-existent”. Playing a ‘brain game' may lead to improvements in game performance, but this has yet to show a convincing result in people's daily cognitive abilities. In other words, doing hundreds of sudoku puzzles might make you a sudoku wizard, but it doesn't necessarily improve your ability to do your accounting.嗯，不，实际上。根据全球大脑健康委员会的一份报告，尽管许多人认为玩旨在改善大脑健康的益智游戏和智力游戏等在线游戏很重要，但其益处的证据“微弱到无——存在”。玩“脑力游戏”可能会提高游戏性能，但这尚未显示出令人信服的人们日常认知能力的结果。换句话说，做数百个数独谜题可能会让你成为数独巫师，但这并不一定能提高你的会计能力。It's not all doom and gloom though. There are other ways to stimulate the old grey matter. It recommends seeking out new activities that challenge the way you think and are socially engaging, while leading to a healthy lifestyle. Among their suggestions are practising tai chi, taking photography classes, learning new technologies, gardening, art projects or volunteering.但这并不全是厄运和悲观。还有其他方法可以刺激旧的灰质。它建议寻找新的活动来挑战您的思维方式和社交参与方式，同时带来健康的生活方式。他们的建议包括练习太极拳、参加摄影课、学习新技术、园艺、艺术项目或志愿服务。There's more good news, too. James Goodwin, chief scientist at Age UK has said that brain decline is not inevitable. As long as the activities are “new to you and require your concentrated attention”, they can provide benefits for brain health. So, make haste, get out there and try something new. Maybe it's time to try that hobby you've always wanted to do. And as for me? I'm off to learn the piano.还有更多好消息。英国时代的首席科学家詹姆斯古德温表示，大脑衰退并非不可避免。只要这些活动“对您来说是新的并且需要您集中注意力”，它们就可以为大脑健康带来好处。所以，快点，走出去，尝试一些新的东西。也许是时候尝试一下你一直想做的爱好了。至于我呢？我要去学钢琴了。词汇表aphorism 格言utilise 利用，使用a state of decline 退化、衰退的状态rusty （因长期不去做而）生疏的altogether 彻底地，全部地waste away 逐渐衰退counteract 对抗，抵消keep sharp 保持（技术）熟练；保持（头脑）敏锐augment 增强、加强a raft of 许多，大量non-existent 不存在的cognitive 认知的wizard 能手，“达人”doom and gloom 前景悲观，一片黯淡stimulate 促进（身体某部位的）功能grey matter “灰质”，头脑inevitable 不可避免的make haste （旧式说法）快点

“There is a lot of talking going on in the world right now. There is not a whole lot of listening. If we switched it around – more listening and less talking – we would see miracles.” – Kay Lindahl In a social zeitgeist that emphasizes talking, verbalizing, and presenting one’s self, Kay Lindahl has steadfastly worked to reverse this equation: since the early 1990s, she has been teaching people how to listen – a composite form of inner and outer listening with a deeply spiritual grain. Kay’s mission began around 1991 when she founded The Alliance for Spiritual Community (ASC), a grassroots interfaith organization creating dialogue among people of diverse faiths, cultures, and spiritual practices. Having recently relocated to a new community with her husband, she started ASC from their living room to bring a “strong spiritual presence” to her new community. Her decade-long work with ASC underscored for her that building peace and diversity in a true sense requires a reformation in how we communicate – beyond words, and through channels of our attention. And so unfolded the next chapter of her journey: supporting listening as a critical exercise not only across diverse faith, cultural, and other traditions but also as a sacred art in itself – a spiritual exercise that an individual undertakes in the interior of their being. To Kay, the inner and outer pieces of listening incorporate each other into what she terms an embodied “listening presence”. This kind of listening is a multi-dimensional practice that operates through listening to one’s body, soul, silence, life, heart, mind, emotions, and the earth. “Listening encompasses more than words,” she says. “It is a way of being in the world.” To Kay, sacred listening is an interface, a conduit between community and faith in its diverse forms. For the past twenty-four years, Kay has been working on stretching the collective and individual imagination about “listening” – what it offers when viewed as a spiritual art form, how it might re-shape community dialogue, and how best people might “prepare” to listen. This has been her marching orders, her living manifesto. In 1997, she started The Listening Center (TLC). She conducts workshops and retreats around the world on the art form of listening for religious, spiritual, community, campus, and business groups. Kay has authored several books including The Sacred Art of Listening, Practicing the Sacred Art of Listening and How Does God Listen?  The premise of her work and TLC is that listening is a creative force. It is at the heart of transforming relationships. Listening requires practice and teaching. But it goes beyond the mechanics and modalities. Listening is a form of “beingness” for Kay, an attuning with the present moment that arrives when space is prepared for it. This “listening presence” significantly differs from effective and performative types of listening – responsible, inter-cultural, productive, interdisciplinary types. Spiritual listening emerges from an inward-facing stillness and attentiveness that creates space from which we can listen across our differences. Listening is a choice. When one chooses to listen deeply, it sets in motion a recognition of the life force of another, and we find ourselves able to understand even those opining differently. Born into a community-oriented family of Scandinavian immigrants, Kay’s hands-on exposure to paying attention to and heeding the calls of the world outside of her began from within her family. As a child she witnessed her father in community leadership roles in fraternal organizations, and later serving on the city council in Jamestown, New York. He also hosted a weekly radio program in Swedish, serving the local immigrant population. The founding elements of her work and way of life lay also in her deep spiritual grounding. “Ever since I was a little girl I have had this sense of knowing. I felt connected to something I couldn’t describe.” The essence of her origin – a predisposition to serving and leading community – kept reappearing in myriad forms throughout her adult life. Her own journey has been a testament to her listening to the opportunities that showed up in her non-linear path. It took her from the role of a registered nurse, to running her own financial consultancy for seventeen years, to being a regional leader for La League Leche. In 1993 she attended the Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago and heard theologian Hans Kung's statement – that there will be no peace among nations until there is peace among religions. She realized that there will be no peace among religions until there's dialogue among religions and that listening – to one another and to Source – is a key component of building a world of peace and harmony. A long-time member of the Episcopal Church, Kay became an ordained interfaith minister and a board member of The Interfaith Observer, the Rumi Educational Center, and Women of Spirituality and Faith (to bring more female voices into the spiritual community). She is a past Ambassador for the Parliament of the World's Religions, a past (founding) trustee of the Global Council for the United Religions Initiative, and Past Chair of the North American Interfaith Network. She also is a member of the Forge Guild for Spiritual Leaders and The International Listening Association. The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic is expanding her own understanding and practice of spiritual listening. The isolation and enhanced need for connection put the sacredness of listening in a unique context for Kay. She sees the inability to gather in person as an extension of the ongoing need for “finding ways to communicate differently”. Even while recognizing the hardships of the pandemic, she views this struggle as a fountainhead of opportunity for “learning to tune in to the hive – where we connect telepathically, without depending on time and space”. This is “a season of not knowing” -- when the answer to so many questions is I don’t know. She believes new grounds are opening to practice being present in the moment, to listen with patience. Kay lives in Long Beach, California, and enjoys keeping in touch with her seven children and ten grandchildren. Please join us in conversation with this gifted practitioner of the creative force of listening.

Today on Sojourner Truth: On Friday, January 22, a UN treaty outlawing nuclear weapons went into effect, having been ratified by over 50 countries. The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, which was adopted in 2017, prohibits countries from producing, testing, acquiring, possessing or stockpiling nuclear weapons. The Treaty also outlaws transferring weapons and forbids countries from permitting any nuclear explosive device to be stationed, installed or deployed within their borders. It sets the goal of achieving a nuclear-weapon-free world, saying it would serve both national and collective security interests. Any use of nuclear weapons, it adds, would be contrary to the rules of international law for armed conflict. The Treaty is certainly groundbreaking. However, the United States and other major nuclear powers have not signed it. Some are protesting in the U.S. to press the Biden administration to sign the treaty. Our guest is Alice Slater, who serves on the Board of World Beyond War, is the UN NGO Representative of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation and a member of the Global Council of Abolition 2000. She serves on the Board of Nuclear Ban U.S. and works with the NYC Working Group for the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) in the Nobel Prize winning campaign to promote the newly passed treaty to ban the bomb. Indigenous nations in the United States hard-hit by COVID-19 are alarmed by the impact on their nations in terms of loss of life and also the threat to their culture, including maintaining their traditional languages. Our guest is Ethel Branch, the former Attorney General for Navajo Nation and founder of the Navajo and Hopi Families COVID-19 relief fund. Also, on Tuesday, January 26, the people of India celebrate Republic Day. The holiday honors the date on which the Constitution of India came into effect on January 26, 1950, formally turning India into an independent republic. This was a major development for the people of India, who had suffered from hundreds of years of colonization under the British. Today, 71 years later, the people of India are still fighting for true freedom. Today, on the 71st anniversary of Republic Day, tens of thousands of protesting farmers plan to drive into India's capital city of Delhi on tractors. Many of them are women, who account for 70 percent of agricultural work, but are paid half as much as men. The farmers are protesting against agriculture reform laws passed by Parliament last September 2020. They are also demanding pay equity for women farmers and all agricultural workers. Our guest is London-based Didi Rossi, a member of Global Women's Strike, an international network campaigning for a living wage for mothers and other carers.

Today on Sojourner Truth: Donald Trump talks about cleaning up the streets of homeless people, within the context of discussing with Tucker Carlson of Fox News "filth" in urban centers in the United States. In Los Angeles, on any given night, the homeless population ranges from 50,000-60,000 people, with some saying that's a low-ball figure. Sanitation crews were ordered by the City of Los Angeles to clear an encampment of homeless people near City Hall. Joining us to discuss the crisis of homelessness is Pete White, founder and co-director of the Los Angeles Community Action Network. As the nation celebrated Pride Month, the 11th murder victim of a Black trans woman was announced. We are joined by Jennicet Gutierrez, a transgender Latina organizer from Mexico. And, we discuss the latest escalation of tensions between the United States and Iran with Alice Slater, the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation's New York representative. She is a member of the Global Council of Abolition 2000, a global network working for a treaty to eliminate nuclear weapons.
