Airs on MeTV on Sunday, on November 25.
Prejudice, hatred and violence directed toward Muslim-Americans existed well before 9/11. However Islamophobia has greatly expanded since the 2001 attacks on the World Trace Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. What are the roots of Islamophobia, what is the damage done-not just to Muslim-Americans but all Americans, and what can be done to counter it? A panel including a Christian pastor, and Islamic cleric and a social activist examine this trend.
Challenge 2.0 airs on MeTV on Sunday Mornings at 7:30 AM.
Host: Jeff Renner
Panelists:
Aneelah Afzali, Muslim American Empowerment Network of the Muslim Association of Puget Sound
Imam Jamal Rahman, Interfaith Community Sanctuary and the Three Interfaith Amigos
Pastor Terry Kyllo, Treacy Levine Center and Neighbors in Faith
Challenge 2.0 Overview
The Treacy Levine Center, in partnership with Weigle Broadcasting and Seattle Community Cable TV, is announcing the Challenge 2.0. With host Jeff Renner, panelists from many faith and wisdom traditions will gather to take on the challenges that face us today. Panelists will bring their wisdom to the table to help us envision the future we all desire, and what we can do to get there. Panelists will bring a capacity to listen, learn and strive toward love for all the human family.
About the Treacy Levine Center
The center’s roots lie in the pioneering television interfaith dialogue program, “Challenge,” begun in 1960 in response to widespread fear among Americans concerning the prospect of a Catholic president. As an outgrowth of that dialogue, participants Rabbi Raphael Levine and Father William Treacy founded the Treacy Levine Center in 1966, under its original name, Camp Brotherhood. Now that the camp has sold to Camp Korey, the Treacy Levine Center is refocusing its mission to cross the bridge to our common humanity through media, events and encouraging personal action.
