Os Guinness speaking at Global Faith Forum. After the “American century” there are some pressing questions for us at the verge of another century:
1. Will Islam modernize peacefully and be a force for peace?
2. Which faith will replace Marxism in China?
3. Will the West recover its roots?
The context for all 3 is globalization and the explosion of religion – which is as “furiously alive as ever”
So how do we live with our deep differences?
