Brian McLaren tour focuses on inter-faith relations

Emerging church leader Brian McLaren will be visiting six English cities this winter.

He'll be picking up on the themes of his new book, Why Did Jesus, Moses, the Buddha, and Mohammed Cross the Road?

The tour has been organised by Greenbelt in partnership with book publisher Hodder & Stoughton.
