10. Integral Pluralism and Meta-Religion (w/ Bruce Alderman)

After detailing the twists and turns of his rich spiritual journey through numerous religious traditions, Bruce Alderman discusses the many promises and challenges of trans-religious engagement. Bruce and Brendan discuss the difficulty of bridging divides, not just between different religious traditions, but also between different worldviews and value systems that appear within those traditions. Bruce talks about some of the promising groundwork he's helped lay to establish new interlineage institutions, and reflects on what remains to be done in the field of integral pluralism and the articulation of a meta-religious framework.
