Pluralism in religion argued by Hick at Grinnell College
The Rev John Hick argues that many religions can lead to salvation and urges humility over religious superiority. He cites fear of the unknown, explains Jesus as a remarkable human, and notes conflict from exclusive claims while urging openness for global peace. His Grinnell College talk highlights Buddhism rooted ideas and cautions against ultimate answers being needed to reach enlightenment.

Torah survives Nazis finds new home in Tucson
A 100 year old Torah survived the Holocaust and is on permanent loan to Congregation Eshel Avraham in Tucson. Retrieved from the Memorial Scrolls Trust in London, the scroll fought through Nazi handling and warehouse storage before its rescue in the 1960s. The 18 family group, lacking a rabbi, will have the mantle finished and the scroll deemed kosher for Sabbath use after a restoration cost of about $2,000, plus $1,000 donated to the trust.
