[Oe List ...] [Dialogue] Youth Movement

[Priscilla Wilson]

I've been active with the Kansas City Festival of Faiths.
We had Eboo Patel speak in KC last November...in the morning at a  
Catholic High School and in the evening (for the public) at a Jewish  
Synagogue. He is extremely well spoken and knowledgable. I also highly  
recommend his book.
If you have an opportunity to hear him...don't miss it.
