\u201cWe are afraid of the pain of healing because there is something comforting about living in the now, in the conflict, in our own assumptions about others. We are in uncharted territory and that's frightening.\u201d\nAbdul-Rehman Malik is an award-winning journalist, educator, cultural organizer \u2014 and a great storyteller you\u2019ll just want to sit back and listen to all day. His work at the intersection of faith and social change has spanned the globe \u2014 across the US, Canada, UK, Pakistan, Indonesia, Sudan, Mali, Malaysia and more.
