Interfaith family on the radio

I'd really recommend a documentary I heard on the radio today: Twin Sisters, Two Faiths. It follows a pair of identical twin sisters who are both converts: one to Islam and one to Christianity. The documentary follows them as they both have their second children and their agnostic mother dies of lung cancer.

A lot on this struck a cord. It's wonderful to hear the experiences of people who love each other deeply and believe very different things.

Here's a quote from the program: "There is sometimes a sense when you talk to people about inter religious dialogue that it's about us sort of trying to find some common ground that we all agree with but I think as grown ups we can disagree violently without being violent."

It's available on iPlayer. Go and have a listen.
