Today is Good Friday, Passover begins at sundown, and Ramadan is in observance.
At this time of year, when religious holidays converge – sometimes by coincidence – how can we better understand these faiths and traditions?
How was each holiday initially recognized and celebrated?
How have those celebrations changed over time?
And
how do they continue to hold such significance?
A religion scholar and a community leader are here to help guide us in our interfaith appreciation.
Plus, we preview Broadway at The Hobby Center’s 2022 – 23 season, which was just announced today!
Guests:
Sheri Johnson
- Director of Marketing at The Hobby Center
- Professor of Religious Studies
- Director, Religious Studies Program at the University of Houston
Shariq Ghani
- Executive Director and Founder of the Minaret Foundation
Town Square with Ernie Manouse is a gathering space for the community to come together and discuss the day's most important and pressing issues.
Audio from today’s show will be available after 5 p.m. CT. We also offer a free podcast here, on iTunes, and other apps.
